Change state of object on Slide Master
This is indeed old. But I recent ran into the same need and was able to implement what Phil said. So I am explaining on his behalf...
A really useful scenario is you want to use custom nav buttons on the master slides (so you can change the look consistently) but you also want to be able to enable it on the slides.
Given that the slide master objects are not directly accessible you can set up variables which will act as go-betweens. Here is how to do it in steps.
1. setup objects (such as next button) initial state as disabled.
2. setup a variable on master slide called "nextReady", default to false.
3. Still on master slide, set up trigger to change the state of next button to normal when the variable "nextReady" is changed and becomes true.
4. on your regular slide setup trigger to adjust variable "nextReady" to true when your set of criteria met.
That's it!
Thank you so much @Dong Liang. This was super helpful. I had that problem but with your explanation it made sense, and it worked.
Thank you.
