Variable Issue

Good Afternoon, Cheryl.

Would you be willing to share a copy of your .story project file (either here in the Forum Thread or privately within a Support Case) so that we can take a closer look at the problem?  Thanks!

It could be a setting on your slide properties that is preventing the desired behavior. 

Right click in the slide and choose Properties

Select Reset to initial state in the When Revisiting drop down window.

Click the OK Button.

See if that fixes it.

The text isn't being set to blank though, it is being set to a value "type your text here" to set it to blank there must be nothing there

Thanks Owen, but the properties are set to "Reset to initial state".... I sent the file on to see if someone can figure it out. But I appreciate any and all tips

Yes Phil, that's what I want it to say - I just don't want it to show what the learner has already typed in.

I think as soon as you do that the quiz is marked as having an answer so the invalid answer will no longer be shown.

You could ad a trigger before the submit trigger to set it to blank if it is equal to "type your text here" which should then give the invalid answer box

Ohhhh Phil! I like that. I'm going to give it a go right now. Thanks! I'll let you know if it worked

Phil, does the trigger automatically enter as a Slide Trigger? I tried to get it to go in as a Player Trigger but had no luck. Also, even as a Slide Trigger, I do get the proper 'Missed Question' feedback, but when returning to the screen, the learner's typed text does not clear. Any suggestions?

I think it needs to be on the submit button before the submit trigger
