Storyline randomly allows some questions to be changed after submitted in test.

Oct 24, 2016

Hi, I have a series of several evaluations I put together for a client and for some unknown reason, these evals are randomly allowing answers on questions to be changed upon revisiting the question (so after the user has clicked submit and then clicked Previous to return to the submitted question, the answer can sometimes be changed).

The revisiting feature doesn't even consistently appear on the same questions. For example, the first time you go through an eval, it might allow you to change questions 3, 6, and 10 upon revisiting, but the second time you go through, questions 3, 6, and 10 do NOT allow you to change the answers, but questions 1 and 9 now DO allow it. 

I have every question set to one attempt only and to resume saved state upon revisiting. There is no feedback on the questions. 

Can anyone help me figure this out? My client is using these evals right now and they are very anxious to have them working correctly right away. Thanks!

I'm also having a hard time getting the Resume on Restart function to work properly in our LMS. For instance, when I go to something like slide 55, then close out and return to the evaluation, it only remembers my answers up to slide 39. It always remembers several slides earlier than it should, losing the data for many questions I've answered. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Thanks!

Hi Miriam

I'm having trouble seeing any setup difference with the slides the issue is occurring on:

Q4, Q6, Q9, Q14, Q19

Interesting requirement to allow the user to go back once they have answered a question.  I would have expected they would choose option, submit, move to next question and then at the end if you wanted them to review the answers you could add the Review Quiz button.

I created a new project file and imported yours in to see if it would make a different but it didn't

Sorry I couldn't be more help - I would recommend trying a rebuild of those 5 slides

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for trying. The weird thing is that if you go back in to take the eval again, it won't be the questions you listed that are have the issue. It will be different questions that allow users to change the answer after submitting. So I'm really confused because there's no way to zero in on certain slides that have the issue.

I've seen other posts where people recommend the poster of the thread send their files to customer service or some other department. Can you tell me where I could submit this for more help? I'm not savvy on how this site works yet.

Thanks,

Miriam
