Dynamic next/continue button

Hi all!

I have an e-learning with Correct/Incorrect slide layers per slide.
On there is some feedback and a "Continue" button.
Then, in a second scene, there is the results slide and some disclaimer stuff.
Along side that, I have 2 variables:
progress: displays current slide number (minus title slides, intro slides, etc etc)
NumberOfQuestions: displays total number of questions

On the Correct/Incorrect slide layer I have a trigger set up as following:
Jump to slide Next Slide
When user clicks Continue
If progress ≠ variable NumberOfQuestions
Else: Jump to slide 2.1 Results

It works great on all slides EXCEPT on the last slide.
The evaluation (IF...) is correct yet it doesn't jump to the results slide.
I've tried changing it to standard " jump to 2.1 result if IF = true, otherwise go to next slide"  but that breaks the (visual?) flow in the scene.

However; if I put a slide after the last slide (blank slide), it works?!!?

I don't understand what is going on or what I'm overlooking.

Can someone enlighten me???

Thanks in advanced and kind regards!

***EDIT***
I've tried to re-create a miniature version of the file/problem.

    You can't expect the trigger to work on the last question slide if there’s no slide following it in the scene. If the condition is true, the trigger has nowhere to navigate, causing the functionality to break. Adding a blank slide after the last question slide solves this issue because Storyline recognizes it as the "next slide" and can proceed to evaluate the next condition if the first one isn’t met.

      Hi Nedim,

      Thanks for the reply.
      I know that, because I figured that out myself as written in the original post :)

      As I wrote before, setting it up the other way around would be more logical;

      Jump to slide 2.1
      when user clicks continue
      if Progress equals NumberOfQuestions
      Else jump to next slide.

      However, this breaks the visual flow in the .story file.
      That's not a "deal breaker" per se (at least not for me, but for my WYSIWYG colleagues it's probably a different ball game), but it does make it a lot more complicated to keep  track of what links to where :)

    Hi CasperLippens​!

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Storyline Triggers!

    We're tracking a bug in Storyline 360 which causes behavior similar to what you've shared. I'd like our support engineers to have a closer look at this issue, so I've opened a support case on your behalf.

    You're in excellent hands working with them and they should be following up with you via e-mail, shortly!
