Variable doesn't stay True if exiting

Hi lilian!

Oddly enough, I tested this quite a bit last night and I was seeing the same thing.

However, the newest Update 5 was released yesterday as well. I updated this morning and tried out the project you shared. Now, when I test and revisit the course, the next button is functioning properly when revisiting (the "Hidden" button doesn't appear when reloading the entire course). 

Can you test this out on your end as well please?

Here's the uploaded project:

Testing for lilian

If that works for you, I would recommend updating and republishing on your end. 

Hi Christine, 

Thanks for your help but the upgrade hasn't fixed the issue, I'm afraid. Apart from using your link, I republished after upgrading too: scormcloud 

Now I've noticed this behaviour, I will work around it until it gets fixed! The moral of the story is to not have a variable like that for the last slide in a scene.

Hi Lilian,

Can you clarify something - you said 'apart from using my link" - does that mean it did  work for you in the version I published? If so, you might want to try importing the slides from your original project into a new one.

In either case, I'm happy to hear that you were able to find a workaround :) Though, obviously, I'd prefer if if you didn't need to use one!

Thanks!

Hi Christine, sorry, no, I meant that I tried your link and that didn't work as expected either. So neither your version nor mine works! Thanks for your help though.

Hi Lilian,

OK - thank you very much for clarifying :)

I did a little extra testing with this. I'm starting to think that the problem is that we've been using a variable that adjusts at the end of the timeline. To help explain this; I added a extra slide and enabled the "Next" and "Previous" buttons after the slide that contains your exit and custom button. I also set the settings for both slides to "Resume saved State". Now, upon revisiting and viewing that blank slide first, when I go back one more slide, the button works fine and resumes properly. 

Here's the published version, if you'd like to take a look:

Could you take a look, please? If you see the same thing, it looks like that state and variable only seem to save on resume when you move forward to another slide. Not quite sure why at this point, but if that works for you as well, we may be getting closer to narrowing it down.

Thanks, Lilian!

Hi Christine, yes, I can confirm the button resumes properly provided there is another slide at the end. We have made a note to always add a slide at the end that doesn't require the next button to use a variable as a workaround.

Thanks. 

Thanks Lilian for the update and I'm happy to hear you were able to find a solution!
