Timeline Object names add a "1"

Feb 08, 2019

Many of my objects in the Timeline change their names by adding a "1" to the end of the name.

Example.  An image named "car" will be changed to "car 1" for no reason that I can see.    The triggers automatically update to this name as well.

It takes a lot of time to manually rename all these objects to remove the "1"

 

Thanks

Hi there, Brent!

Right now, there isn't a built-in way to disable the '1' that gets automatically added at the end of an object's title in Storyline 360. Check out our pointers on working with the timeline here!

We're continuously exploring new features, so I'm going to share your insight with our product team. If we make changes in this area, we'll be sure to keep this discussion updated. Here's a glimpse into how we prioritize feature requests!

Hey Brent,

If you add shapes, captions, pictures, etc to your file the "1" is added automatically to the first object. For instance, if I needed a couple of rectangles, it would be Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2, etc.

It sounds like you may be running into something different. What type of object are you adding to the slide? Are you manually naming the objects?

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
