Variables on import
Dec 16, 2019
I created couple of attached simple courses 'Chapter 1 Example' and 'Chapter 2 Example' and then tried to import 'Chapter 2 Example' into 'Chapter 1 Example' which is saved in the attached file 'Combined 1 & 2'.
Upon import, the variables of the second file have changed and they have unnecessarily increased 4 times. As an example, in the file 'Chapter 2 Example' I have variable '2_Learn1' defined once while in the imported file there are four versions of this variable '2_Learn11', '2_Learn12', '2_Learn13' and 2_Learn14'. Same is the case for all variables. I was wondering if someone can please help me?

Hi, Irfan.
I have great news to share!
We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 61, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the fixes we've included is:
Renaming variables and then importing slides with those variables into another project resulted in duplicate variables.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
