Can't drag in a Drag & Drop

Hi Matt!

I'm happy to take a look at your file to see exactly what's happening with drag and drop questions!  Would you mind sharing it in this discussion by using the "Add Attachment" button? Or you can share it with me privately by using this link.

Either way, I'll test it out and share my findings!

Hi Lauren, thanks for the offer but I have already had to move on and haven't kept a copy of the dodgy version.

When I discovered that the grouped objects were negatively impacting the drag and drop functionality, I replaced them all with (slightly underwhelming) text boxes instead - and these function OK.

As you test it out, I would suggest investigating by importing icons from Content Library, then grouping each them with a blank white square behind it - then see how it affects the drag and drop interaction - it became unstable for me running SL360 on a Windows PC with updates current.

Hi Matt!

I understand! I've recorded my testing if you're interested. I didn't have any issues with the drag and drop objects using groups.

Let me know if my testing is different than yours!

I occasionally have this problem. I've had some luck with deleting the trigger and ungrouping the object. Then regrouping and creating a new trigger. 

Hi Jesse,

So sorry to hear you run into issues with the drag-and-drop interaction, but I'm glad you found a way around it! A few questions to help us nail down the cause:

• What update of Storyline are you using? Click on the Help tab, then About Storyline.
• Are you finding that only certain objects drag while others do not?
• Are you comfortable with sharing the slide so we can try to replicate the experience? You can upload it privately here.

Any insight you can provide there would be much appreciated!

Funny... I was trying to figure out why my interaction wouldn't work and it turns out when you remove items from the drag/drop list in FORM VIEW but don't remove them from the stage... haha they aren't draggable anymore! Derp

This was driving me crazy, then I read your post and realized this was related to what I had done!  I renamed a couple of items in the timeline and it blew up the drag and drop.  I removed them all and added them back in and it works perfectly.  Makes sense now that I know what happened but it was rough trying to figure it out.  Thanks so much for your post!
