Storyline 3 Problem - Drag and Drop is always correct after revisting slide.

Hello everybody,

as a mostly silent reader, this is my first post/question here. I've got a course with the following problem (to keep it simple i reproduced it quick and dirty in the attached file):

I've got a Drag and Drop Freeform where I have one drop and five drags. To finish the task correctly you have to put all five drags onto the drop. If you do so (confirm with the OK-Button), go to the next page and immediately revisit the page with the freeform, everything will be resetted. At least that's what you think. If then you put only the first drag onto the drop and submit the question, it will be correct, which is wrong.

So here's my question. Is there anyone out there who already has some experience with such behaviour. I already thought about a JavaScript Solution but I'm not sure how to access the internal variables which Articulate uses to track the freeform questions (e.g. amount of tries and stuff).

All the best and I really appreciate your help with this
Tyll

Hi there, Tyll!

To follow up on Ashley's post – I'm excited to note that we just released update 3 for Storyline 3! You can view all the new features and fixes here.

One of the fixes addresses an issue where freeform drag and drop would mark incorrectly on the second attempt.

Here’s where you can download and install the latest version of Storyline 3. Let us know if you have any questions!
