Any way to DISABLE Dynamic Variable Placeholders?
Its interesting that this discussion has attracted response from those who I would say are some of the most experienced, expert and professional level Storyline users on here (and not by accident are you labelled "Heroes"!). Ive had the pleasure to work alongside some of you on projects and was always impressed at your knowledge and clever ways to work around Storyline "limitations"
However, it seems that Articulate Storyline developers really do not consider or heed requests/advice from developers like ourselves. Those who literally use the software every single day and rely on it for income.
Instead they choose to implement features regardless of impact to user base. Simultaneously, it seems that obvious shortcomings and issues are ignored. (Matt, I totally agree with the Focus Order feature! I would quickly add "32bit software in 2022?!" as my #1 bugbear)
If Articulate still need convincing that there are better, more transparent ways to be a SaaS company in 2022 - open Storyline, click File and choose "Storyline Options"....
Really? We are using software that has 3 (yes, 3) tickbox options for preferences?! Im guessing this "Storyline Options" menu has been forgotten by the Storyline development team.
So my question to that team is - if a new feature is about to be released, as part of its rollout, why can it not have a corresponding tick box in "Storyline Options" to simply toggle/adjust the feature?
I have to be completely transparent here and I am part of the beta test group. When this feature was released to beta I was working on a contract that meant I did very little testing of the new feature, and as a result, I am finding workflow issues now.
Also with respect to the Articulate developers, they are very responsive and features that have been released are often very different from the version initially dropped in beta. I am not sure how you join the group but suspect it would benefit from you all joining.
