Change Hotspot Interaction lmstext
I have a quiz in a SCORM 2004, 4th edition eLearning module I've created in Articulate Storyline 360. The quiz has six branching Hotspot freeform questions.
The problem is that our LMS, Schoox, doesn't show the answers for the individual quiz questions because all six Hotspot freeform questions have the same question text in the LMS: "Hotspot".
I can edit the data.js file in the html5/data/js folder of the Articulate Storyline output and change the "lmstext" variable for each question from "Hotspot" to "HotspotQ1", "HotspotQ2", etc, and the questions and answers now display correctly in the LMS.
Is there a way I can change the "lmstext" variable with a trigger in Articulate Storyline instead of the editing the JavaScript output?
I've changed the title of each Hotspot question to "Question 1", "Question 2", etc, in the Scenes pane on the left of my Articulate window, but the Player Trigger for the Submit Button still says "Submit Hotspot when the user clicks submit".
Is there anyway to change that from Hotspot to something unique for each freeform question?
Thanks!!
I figured it out!!!
The problem was that my free form Hotspot question slides didn't have a title, because I have a screenshot that takes up the whole slide with a rectangular text box above it.
To add a title, in the Scenes pane, right click a slide. Then select Apply Layout > Title Only. This adds a title text box to the slide. For my slides, I just moved this below the slide-sized screenshot so it doesn't appear to the end user.
I have spent so long trying to figure this out. I'm so relieved!!!

I'm glad you figured it out.
FYI: I like to add an off-slide Title placeholder to the "Blank" Master layout. It's easier to enter text in that placeholder than to update the Title field in the Scenes panel.
For future reference:
- The Title field in the Scenes panel automatically shows what's entered in the Title placeholder.
- If there's no Title placeholder, the Title field remains "Untitled Slide" until it is manually changed.
- If you manually change the Title field when there is a Title placeholder, that breaks the link between the two.
- The text in the Title field is used in the built-in Menu. Thus, if the link between the field and the placeholder is broken, the title listed in the built-in Menu will be different from the title on the slide.
- You can reconnect the field and the placeholder by entering "Untitled Slide" in the field. It must be typed exactly like that, with the same capitalization.
Thanks so much for the pro tips!
