copy/duplicate slide without changing variable names
I have created a slide with several variables and triggers. When I copy this slide multiple times (whether in the project itself or between two projects) there are variables where Storyline adds +1 ...
Thx for your reply :) But in my case I want all dials in my project to use the same one and only dial-variable and not separate variables for each dial.
In your screenshot you see: "Dial1 & Dial2"
I dont want to have 2 variables like: "Dial1 & Dial1", instead I just want to have 1 variable for all dials like: "Dial"
Now I am looking for a way to copy my first slide with a dial that uses the dial-variable "Dial", without generating a second dial-variable "Dial1" for the dial of the slide-copy. Instead it should just create a exact copy where the dial uses the same already existed dial-variable "Dial".
As you wrote "Only one variable can be associated with each dial object at a time", but I want to associate one variable with many dial objects and thats possible
Hi DVAG Akademie,
I agree with you; we can change the variable associated with each copy of the dial to use the same one in Dial Tools --> Design.
The current behavior is that when a dial or the slide containing it is copied, a new variable will be created associated with the new dial object. Storyline doesn't support the ability to copy objects and, at the same time, assign which variable it will use.
I appreciate you sharing that this feature will be helpful for you! We'll be sure to update this thread if any adjustments are made to this in the future.
