Trouble Submitting Questions with Enter Key
Nov 04, 2015
By
Doug Rice
I've got an SL2 project that contains some fill-in-the-blank questions. Rather than opt for a Submit button, I've set the interactions to submit when the Enter key is pressed. This works fine when publishing to Web. However, when I publish to CD, nothing happens when the Enter key is pressed.
I've checked the text field heights to make sure the Enter key isn't simply wrapping the text. I've also tried starting with both a fill-in-the-blank quiz slide and a slide that includes a freeform question.
A test file is attached. I may have to resort to a Submit button but would hate to do that for this particular case.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Sounds like this is a known issue. Hopefully a fix will come soon.
Yes Doug, this is an issue that our QA Team is aware of. Thanks for linking to relevant threads and I will add this one for the team as well. This helps us keep up with users impacted as well as allows us to update the thread when applicable.
Hello,
I'm having the same issue. Is there any update on when this problem will be fixed?
Hi Patrick!
I do not have an update to provide on this issue as it is still in the hands of our QA Team. This issue is specific to Text Entry Free form questions and the workaround is to use a different key or click the Submit button.
Great news! We just released another update for Articulate 360, and included a few important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here.
The item you'll be interested in is the fix for the Enter key not working in courses published for CD.
Just launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for each application. Details here.
Please let us know if you have any questions, either here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Thanks, Ashley. Good to hear!
