Text Entry
Apr 13, 2015
I have a course where I have 2 separate activities where users will use a text entry box and then that information carries over to the next layer. I was able to get the first one to work fine; but now that I'm on my second activity on a new slide it won't pull the information over into the layer. Is there a trick to using this more than once on a course? The first time I used %Textentry% to get it to carry over but it's not working on the second one. Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
Have a look at the triggers for the second activity. It's probably defaulting to TextEntry2 or something similar.
Assuming you want to keep for entered values, that's just fine. Just make sure to use %TextEntry% to reference the first and %TextEntry2% (or whatever it is) for the second.
Without knowing the more details of the symptoms, it's difficult to know what the cause is, but here are the two most likely issues I can think of:

Hi, Jessica - Looks like Simon has you all set here, but if we're not understanding your set up, can you please share a copy of the .story file you're working with?
Thanks for all your help! The problem was Storyline was pulling over the wrong variable name! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It was tricky because they were almost the same name...just a tad off!
Glad you got it sorted out.
Thank you, Simon, for assisting Jessica!
