Copy and Paste Interaction in Articulate Storyline
So, I'm trying to create a copy-and-paste interaction in Storyline where the learner has to copy a URL and paste it in another object/field. I was wondering if this type of interaction is possible. Given the absolute lack of online questions about this interaction type, I suspect maybe not?
My last resort is to use a drag-and-drop interaction in its place, but I was hoping to replicate the accuracy of an actual process.
Hello Edward,
Happy to help!
I can confirm that it is possible to paste text into a Storyline 360 project but not copy (unless from an entry field). Here's a link that you can use to test the behavior where you'll see that you will be able to paste any text into the input box, but you won't be able to copy any of the text that appears when you lose focus.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hello Jose! I tested out the behavior in the link you provided and I see that it works. However, when I attempt to paste into an input field in my own published Storyline piece, it does not work. Is there an internal setting we need to adjust to allow users to paste? I cannot figure out why it won't work in my SL piece. Thank you!
Hello Sephora Client Services,
Happy to troubleshoot this with you!
Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a look at how your slides and input fields are set up? We'll delete it when we're done testing!
Unfortunately, even if I use a text entry field, it doesn't allow the user to copy the text to paste it elsewhere
Hi EdwardAgadja170!
Thanks for following up!
It would be easier to troubleshoot this type of design if we could see the .story file you've been working with. Do you mind uploading a copy here in the discussion or privately through a support case? We'll let you know as soon as we receive it!
