Unassigned Trigger Finder
Is there a utility or way to find triggers in my classes that are unassigned? Thankfully my beta testers typically find where I've failed to add triggers to move from one slide/layer to another, but I hate to leave that to chance. I tried to do a search on 'unassigned', but nothing came back (even when I purposely put one in the story for it to find).
If there isn't a utility to let you know your story is broken somewhere, it might be a nice addition. How do you find these nagging little errors?

Hi Wendy,
There is not a feature that would allow you to do so, but it would make a good feature request.
The easiest thing right now, is that if you've set up a but have left it unassigned to an object or layer, you'll see that indicated in Red within the trigger panel:
Thanks Ashley - feature request submitted!!
Awesome, thanks Wendy!
How do you assign the action to an object, when you get this?
Hi Lissbeth,
If you'd like to add a trigger to an object, you can either start by clicking on the object on your slide and then clicking on the "new trigger" button - or when you click on the new trigger button, you can choose to assign it to an object based on when the object is clicked, hovered over, state changed, etc.
Oh no, Ashley!!
Your request was submitted two years ago. Today I was looking for an answer for the same "unassigned trigger finder". I had several lines in the translation word document with only the word "unassigned". Some of them, I could find other must be out there, hidden somehow. There should be solething like validation within storyline to find everything unlinked and undefined in a project...
Have the developpers contacted you, that your "feature request"/idea is great but the idea does not add any value to storyline. Or have you had notice, that your request made it to the development pipeline?
Makes me sad to see, that the pipeline is so long.
:-(
Hi Christian,
Our team doesn't respond indicating yes or no in regards to new features, as we don't share information in regards to our product road map or timeline of development. Sorry that I don't have any information to share yet, but it's not a current feature of Storyline.
This would be a nice addition - for usability, it's even more critical than spellcheck. Any chance this functionality exists in Storyline 3?
Hi JoEllen,
It's not yet a feature in Storyline 3 or Articualte 360 - but would love to hear a bit more information for what you'd want this to look like or include. Can you submit a Feature request here?
I was just looking for the same thing as I saved a large course before I realized that I left a trigger unassigned. It would be awesome if there was a review took that could help find any "Jump to" item that is unassigned. I'm thinking that it would display in a window, where the Storyline user could click each item in the list, which would open the slide where the trigger is unassigned. The user could then assign it, and click the list to move to the next item. When finished, run the review tool again to ensure that all are set.
