Can text or numeric entries be reset to saved or initial state?
In an accounting course, I created an exercise. The table has several cells. I inserted numeric entries/variables for the student to answer each question. Giving them two attempts, I would like the ...
I meant there should be a separate trigger for each variable. The trigger action would adjust the value, with the condition that it doesn't equal the correct value.
However, looking more closely at your description, I noticed you're using numeric-entry fields. Unfortunately, while you can adjust a numeric-entry value to 0, you can't adjust it to [blank]. After an entry is made, a numeric-entry field will always hold a numeric value.
You could use text-entry fields instead (as demonstrated in the attached file). However, that does mean the users could enter any characters in the fields. And you'd lose the ability to calculate with the values.
