Hi All, I am creating practice simulations to ensure I am all go for the real thing and I have hit a snag. I populate a text field incorrectly and I get the 'Try Again' pop up. I click on this and try again but the original text stays in the field. I read the threads and it said set the slide property to 'Reset to Initial State'. I have done this but to no effect, has anyone got any suggestions to why this wouldn't work for me. cheers David
Since when the user reaches the Try Again layer, their response is already incorrect, what I'd suggest is making the variable blank as soon as the Try Again layer opens up, which will clear the response for the next attempt.
Hi Maria, Thanks for the response, unfortunately there is no change. I have added the trigger to the Try Again layer as shown above but the incorrect text is still remaining in the field. If I delete out the text I am able to type in the correct text and it will progress.
Is it possible to set the Try Again layer to have the fix you showed me automatically applied to each field entry rather than having to create a new trigger for every field that requires text entry.
When you create text entry fields, they're each assigned a different variable. Since when clearing the variable on the Try Again layer, you need to name them individually, there is no way to do it automatically.
You can save some time by duplicating the slide or copying and pasting the layer, but you will still need to re-assign the variable to the one that matches the text entry field.

You can add the following trigger:
Let me know if this works!

Hi, David.
I am attaching a sample .story file so you can see how I set this up and to check if it works on your end.
If you're comfortable sharing your .story file either publicly here or privately through this link, I'm happy to take a look!
Hi Maria,
I have just reinstalled Articulate 360 and early testing has been successful. Thank you for your help.
Cheers David

Hi, David.
I'm happy to hear everything is working now!

I hope this answers your question!
