Adding extra 'wrong' answers in Matching Drop-Down Quiz

Hi

I am trying to create a Matching Drop-Down Quiz which has more answers (Matches) than questions (Choices). I have included a screenshot to illustrate. I cannot figure out a way to do this in either Form View or Slide View, hope someone can lend a hand.

Cheers

Will

  • Hi there,

    I have a question about the sample storyline build above. I noticed that there is a "Custom" option in my state options which lists triangle, square and shape. How was this built in to the options the slide?

    Looking forward to your insight.

    Thanks that is genius. A little more than I wanted to do, but works perfectly.

    Hey Steve. I want to do the opposite here. I would like to have more choices than answers because I want a few distractors. Can you help me?

      The matching drop-down question format requires a one to one relationship...one drop-down box for each answer choice. Daniel's solution is one way to work around this, however.

        Hi rexmor​ Not sure if you are still active, but I am using your awesome template to customize a muti answer quiz. I am stuck. I have a total of 7 choices and I am getting an error that my response is not correct. If you are able to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Attached is my 2-slide file; first slide is yours and second slide is mine. What am doing wrong???? I'm at 3+ hours and I give up.

    Hi Will,

    Just put a space (tap the space bar on your keyboard) in the cell on the left. If you want to add another empty cell beneath, you can put two empty spaces in that one. In fact, I often don't want anything on the left so I just put spaces in the cells in the column on the left side of the form view table (see attached).
