Trigger Trouble
Oct 25, 2016
Hello!! I am working on a project with a list of items in separate text boxes. When I set a trigger on one of the text boxes, that trigger appears on all text boxes on the slide. When I attempt to update the trigger on any of the text boxes, they all update. What could be causing this unusual phenomenon?
Thank you in advance, I LOVE these discussions. So helpful.

Hi David,
Welcome to Heroes! Would you mind sharing your project file here so we can better see your setup to investigate? You can add it as an attachment right to a comment in this thread. Thanks!
This is a rough copy. When you click the Section name on the left, modules names are displayed on the right on a new layer. The module names are supposed to launch new scenes. However, when I create the trigger to launch the Module 1 Scene, it sets all module triggers with the same trigger. when I attempt to modify the Launch Module 2 trigger, it modifies all triggers with that update. Weird.
Thanks for the help and reply Ali.
David, I downloaded your file and it worked fine for me. I added a link to Open Module 1 to jump to 2 Mod1, and it was added correctly and did not change the existing link to 3 Mod2.
I would say delete your text box for Open Module 2 and start fresh with a new text box.
Hi David,
I wasn't able to reproduce what you're seeing. I added in a second trigger for your "text box 2" on the slide layer for your first slide to take you to your "Module 1" slide. When I preview the entire project, each text box appears to take me to the correct location. I attached your project file below that I added the second trigger to. Please let me know if I've overlooked something!
Thank you both...Ali and Sandra.
