Hi, I'm probably missing something really obvious here but this is driving me nuts and I could really do with some help.
I've created a custom submit button for a Pick One quiz question.
I have set up the trigger ' submit interaction 'pick one 1' when user clicks the button. Which works fine, if it's the correct answer that's picked. It won't let me submit a wrong answer.
I've checked the form and previous modules where I've not had any issues with Pick 1 quiz questions, and I can't see any differences at all.
I've also published the module (in case it was a bug) but it's not working there either. I'm totally puzzed as to why this isn't working. I would appreciate any suggestions.
What do you see when trying to submit an "incorrect" answer? Did you include that as a possible answer in your pick one if you created your own custom buttons? As Michael shared it's typically best if we can take a look at the .story file and you're welcome to upload here using the "add attachment" button so that we can take a look.
You must select an answer, even if it is incorrect to advance. If you are getting a "You must select an answer..." message, you need to go to form view and select something to select that is not the correct answer. The user must select either the correct or the incorrect answer to advance.
If you are getting some other reaction, please attach your .story file.
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to respond to me.
When I select an incorrect answer, the submit button doesn't work - yet it works fine when I select the correct answer.
I have added an incorrect response to the form view but there may be a setting I'm missing somewhere. I've used 'pick 1' loads before and never had this issue.
Hi Leslie - thanks for taking the time to review this for me.
Ahhhhhh I thought that if I selected 'unlimited' attempts then they could go back and select the correct result, I'll maybe add a try again layer to see if that resolves it.
I am having this issue as well, but it looks like I already have mine built per the comments here.... I have no clue how to resolve this. I can select multiple incorrect answers and try again, but then selecting the correct answer and hitting submit does not work.
I'm having a similar problem, but the opposite. If I answer incorrectly, the submit button works. If I answer correctly, however, the submit button does nothing.
When you answer correctly, the Correct layer is shown. You have a Correct! layer, but not a Correct layer. Rename Correct! to Correct, and it can find it and play it.
Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me with a similar issue (I've attached my storyline file). I have a graded multiple choice slide. You get 0, 5 or 10 points. It works when I select the right 10 points and wrong answer 0 points. But when i select the 5 point answer it doesn't show the "Juist 5" layer. it shows another slide with the wrong info but with 5 points. Does that make sense? I hope you can understand the dutch text :-) I'd really love some help with this. Cheers!
Hi Stephanie and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community! ✨
I took a look at your project file and it looks like you have the feedback sorted By Question. You will need to change this in the Question Tools ribbon to the dropdown selection By Choice.
Here is a quick screen recording of how to find this feature:
The normal graded quizzes are set up to show only Correct, Incorrect, and Try again layers, so there is nothing to show your half correct layer. Add this trigger:
Fantastic! it works! Thank you guys! That's an interesting work around to add that trigger on the 'onjuist probeer opnieuw' layer. This has saved me sooooo much time.
I've run it to another problem with this. The user gets two attempts at the question. On the second attempt it shows the incorrect layer but with 5 points. Any idea why this happens?
The built-in triggers show the Try Again layer if there are any attempts remaining. If there are none, they show the Incorrect layer. Copy the above trigger to the Onjuist layer, as well as the onjuist Probeer opnieuw layer.

Hey Lindi. Is it possible you could upload the course so we could check what's going on?

Hi Lindi!
Thanks for sharing your .story file for us to take a look.
The Submit button is working, which is why you get the feedback as expected.
However, you have allowed unlimited attempts which is why you cannot proceed until the correct answer is selected.

Thanks again for your help :)
Lindi
Yes, you can select another answer and submit as well, but it is hard to see without the Try Again layer.
I was having the same issue. Leslie, your post was super helpful! Thank you.
Hi!
At least for the multiple-choice and multiple answers questions you could disable the submitbutton until something is selected:
To do so, add 2 triggers...
The first one to change the state of the submit button to disabled at the start of the timeline.
The second to change the state of the submit button to normal when the state of any of your radiobuttons or checkboxes are selected.
Still not 100% covered because with ordering or drag n drop I'm not sure...
Glad this was able to help you out Patty :) Thanks for chiming in.
Hey Peter!
Thanks for popping in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Hi Ashley
looks like you posted the published file - can you share the .story file so we can see the setup and try to help you.
I'm having a similar problem, but the opposite. If I answer incorrectly, the submit button works. If I answer correctly, however, the submit button does nothing.
Attached the file here. Help!
When you answer correctly, the Correct layer is shown. You have a Correct! layer, but not a Correct layer. Rename Correct! to Correct, and it can find it and play it.
THANK YOU!!!!
This program is so picky...but thanks. I knew it was going to be something simple!

I don't see it as a work around. To me, it is good design practice to extend the built-in activities to match your needs.
Hello again :-)
I've run it to another problem with this. The user gets two attempts at the question. On the second attempt it shows the incorrect layer but with 5 points. Any idea why this happens?
Here is what i mean: https://somup.com/c31oQmtpMz
So the 5 points is correct but it shows the 'Incorrect' layer instead of the 'Correct 5' layer
The built-in triggers show the Try Again layer if there are any attempts remaining. If there are none, they show the Incorrect layer. Copy the above trigger to the Onjuist layer, as well as the onjuist Probeer opnieuw layer.
Brilliant! thank you.
