ALT TEXT NOT DELETING
Hi, all!
I have some great news to share! We just released a new version of Storyline 360 (Update 103), which included a fix for the issue where custom alt text added to buttons, radio buttons, text boxes, and checkboxes couldn't be changed or reset to default.
To take advantage of this update, simply launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or reaching out to our Support Engineers directly. We'll be happy to help!
Hello Kara!
I'm happy to help! I understand that you want the alt text field to be blank. Is this an object that can be ignored by a screen reader? If it's not essential for understanding the purpose of the content, then I'd hide it from assistive technology by unchecking the Object is visible to accessibility tools box.
Please let me know if you have additional questions!
I need the object to be read by a screen reader. It happens on my answer choices in a custom “pick many” question. I’ve attached my Storyline file. There are 5 answer choices. If you view the alt text for each, you see other phrases because I duplicated the question. On normal text boxes, if I duplicate the element and delete the alt text, the field stays blank and it knows to grab the text from the text field itself. On these answer choices, if I delete the alt text, the previously saved text returns. This happen both by right-clicking on the element and selecting ‘Accessibility’ or when I try to delete the text from the Focus Order menu.
