" You Must complete the Question Before Submitting" Problem

Feb 23, 2016

I set up several freeform multiple choice questions and they all have the same problem when I try to submit my answer choice although I have completed the question. I've tried shortening the timeline to no avail, and I don't see any options in Form View that would allow me to change this. So, I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue.

Hello Cheri,

I've attached a file.  Let me know if this works.  I think the problem was that slide 1.2 would immediately go to the next slide whether the user had submitted a response or not.  I removed the timeline trigger from slide 1.2 and added Correct/Incorrect layers to slides 1.2 and 1.3.

I think what might have been happening was that you would select an answer on 1.2, and it would take you to 1.3 before you submitted the 1.2 answer.  Since you hadn't yet selected anything on 1.3, it would give you the error message you mentioned in the title.

I hope this helps!
