Does the variable change on the same slide as that trigger? If not, then the trigger won't execute, because the trigger won't "see" the variable change.
The "when" part of the trigger needs to occur on the same slide as the trigger.
For example, if the user is returning to the slide, you could change the button to Normal when the timeline starts (with the same condition about the value of the variable).
You might find some helpful info about controlling the Next button here:
I have different scenes that needs to be completed before going to the final scene. And here I want to have the next button foirced to be disengaged before the user did not visited every scene and completed the "quiz" at every end of the scene.

This post talks about the Next button, but the same methods can be used to control a custom button.
Hi Judy,
sorry for my late reply.
I will try that, thank you. The trigger change is indeed not on the same slide.
Best Regards,

Ok I think sadly this wont work for me.
I have different scenes that needs to be completed before going to the final scene. And here I want to have the next button foirced to be disengaged before the user did not visited every scene and completed the "quiz" at every end of the scene.
Or did I understand it wrong?
Greetings,
Sebastian

Check the mixed Navigation in the sample at this post:
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/free-sample-restricted-and-free-random-navigation-using-variables-and-triggers
It has four buttons that take the learner to different slides (but you could make it scenes), and when they are all visited, a button appears that can have any trigger on it you want. In the restricted navigation, the four buttons appear in order, only after the previous one is visited.
FYI: Here are my posts related to custom menu slides and controlling the Next button.
