Ability to track text entry field and custom dropdown from a single slide in SCORM cloud.

Hi fam, I have a storyline course with multiple variables and interactions and there's a slide that contains a text entry field and custom dropdown. To satisfy the needs of my client I chose pick many interaction and everything works fine as expected except for one issue that I got stuck with.

The user submits the Pick Many interaction by clicking the custom Next button, then moves on to the upcoming slide to submit the results.

The SL file is attached for your reference. The problem is that the user must enter their name in the provided text entry field before they navigate to this slide. They can then choose to edit the custom drop-down interaction's default values or leave them as-is. When tested in the SCORM cloud, all of the custom dropdown values were tracked as anticipated with the exception of the text entry value. I've been attempting to track the user input value in various methods, but I've had no luck so far.

Any insights on how to accomplish this is much valued.

Thank you!!

    Hi Sandeep, 

    Thanks for reaching out! 

    You can store the value of the text-entry field shown below in a variable, and then follow the following article to send the value to an LMS. 

    Store this value to a custom variable since a multiple choice slide cannot submit this value on its own:

    And follow the steps in this article to send the value to an LMS: 

    Hope this helps!

      Hi Eric,

      I appreciate you providing such thorough instructions on how to achieve this.

      I'll try to get a valid URN from our LMS administrator so that I can see if it works and see if I can also record user-entered information.

      I'll keep you informed as soon as possible.

      Thank you!!

        Hi Sandeep,

        I'd like to share how you can get a valid URN for line 15 in the custom xAPI statement. It appears that you can obtain it from Storyline instead of from the LMS. 

        One way to fill in the values for the en-US and id fields for your xAPI statement is to select an object (e.g., slide, object, or custom text) for your verb in the trigger wizard before clicking the + xAPI link.

        Here's a screen recording showing how.

        Let me know if that works for you.
