In a normal text entry quiz slide, the value has to be entered manually into the TextEntry/NumberEntry field and then has to be submitted. Is it possible to "import" the value instead of entering it manually?
I'd like the user to set the correct value value by clicking on buttons. I know how to show the calculated value in a normal text field, but how can I get the value into the TextEntry field?
If the learner will not be hand-entering a value into the field, I would not use a TextEntry Field, I would use a text box that has been styled to LOOK like a TextEntry Field. You could even style it to look like an "entry disabled" (gray interior instead of white) TextEntry Field.
Thanks Joseph...that makes sense. But how do I "tell" storyline that it has to evaluate the entry in the text field for this quiz slide, instead of the the value in the standard TextEntryField?
What we're creating is essentially a Multiple Choice Graded Question, with buttons instead of radio buttons. Storyline will evaluate the value of the variable when the Submit button is clicked.
Create your text box. Style it to look like a text entry field. Insert a Reference, creating a new variable called txtEntryText.
Create a button (Button1), title it First.
Attach a Trigger to the button: Set txtEntryText to value One When the user clicks Button1
Repeat for as many buttons as you have on the page, titled accordingly
Create Correct and Incorrect layers, with appropriate responses
Enable the Submit button on the slide from the Slide Properties > Slide navigation and gestures ("gear" icon in the lower-right) modal dialog. Delete the automatically-created trigger
Attach a Trigger to the Submit Button for the Correct feedback Show layer Correct When the user clicks Submit if txtEntryText = value One
Attach a second Trigger to the Submit Button for the Incorrect feedback Show layer Incorrect When the user clicks Submit if txtEntryText ≠ value One

Set txtEntryText to value One
When the user clicks Button1
Show layer Correct
When the user clicks Submit
if txtEntryText = value One
Show layer Incorrect
When the user clicks Submit
if txtEntryText ≠ value One
Thanks Joseph. That works.
The golden tip was using the Multiple Choice Graded Question type instead of the Tex Entry Question type.
