Hello! On the attached slide, I've created a drag and drop quiz question that allows the user two attempts to order the items. On the first attempt, everything goes as planned. However, when I try the second attempt, the submit button does not work - clicking it does not trigger the submit interaction.
I think it was because the user wasn't clicking on the try again button on the try again layer and it wasn't registering...see update to the file and Peek video where it appears to be working now
Hi Wendy - that isn't supposed to be a button, just a text layer that tells them to try again. We don't like adding in the "try again" clicks as we feel that's extraneous work for the learner.
I figured out what I did wrong! Posting it here in case someone else has the same issue. On the Incorrect layer, I'd hidden the interaction because I show the correct answers and I didn't want to confuse between the two. This broke the second interaction which would lead to the incorrect layer showing.
I had a similar incident just today which was confusing. It was working fine and set the Hint layer to show after 3 incorrect attempts using a variable to count to 3 and it worked fine. Then the Submit button stopped working completely.
In the Form View I had changed the number of Attempts to 3 and that was when it stopped working. By using variables to count the number of incorrect attempts, it overrides the Form settings or confuses things..., so I put the Attempts back to 1 in the Form View and it worked again, so basically leave the Attempts to 1 if you are using variables to count to 3 incorrect answers.

I appreciate you chiming back in to share the solution, Beth :)

I hope this helps.
