Graded Quiz: Fill In The Blank
Is it possible to have more than one fill-in-the-blank question on each slide?

Hi Tom and welcome to Heroes!
I wanted to share this tutorial with you on how to create the same effect with a freeform Pick one question, and it was shared earlier in this thread. Another example can be found in this thread.
Thank you for the share Jeanette
Hi E athan,
Glad that this thread helped you out as well! Let us know if you need anything else.

Hey Joshua! This is a little bit of a trick, because the way Storyline handles fill-in-the-blank questions by default is, it really only evaluates one field per question slide. But here's a way to make it do what you want: you can essentially create a freeform Pick One question instead, but move the choices off-screen and use triggers to select the correct choice automatically when all the data entry fields on your slide are filled in correctly by your learner. Here's what I mean: https://player.vimeo.com/video/145578775
And I've attached the file in case that helps.
Hi,I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but when I download & open this story it always marks me as incorrect?? I am trying to do a similar interaction and can't get it to mark correctly either, I am pretty sure it's not a casing issue?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi Jackie,
Not sure either. I just downloaded the story from your link and received a correct prompt when I answered correctly...and incorrect when I purposely made 1 mistake.

SOLVED: I figured out my error - had to change the order of my triggers.
Hello I had same trouble. The trigger Submit interaction should be always the last.
Help! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried over and over again to replicate what Jeanette did with her fruit/animal slide and I can't get it to work. My quiz question just shows "Invalid Answer - you must complete the question before submitting."
I've attached the file. If anyone can point out my error, I'd appreciate it!
Hi Jeanette (or any other Articulate Heros),
I was forwarded to this page as a solution to my inquiry regarding fill in the blanks answer on 1 page. I downloaded the file created by Jeanette and tried to take it apart to suit my question. It worked if the answer is just "1 word" answer on each data entry. However, when I tried with my answer which includes symbols in them, I could not find condition which will call out the answer.
The correct answer to the question should be:
1st data entry field answer is
if ( number >= largest )
2nd data entry field answer is
largest = number
Hope the Articulate team can provide a solution.
Hi Enna,
I'm looking at your file but I'm having a hard time understanding the set up. I see that the triggers are set up to value it against the variables "number" and "largest" but Idon't see that you add the symbols? I was able to add a > symbol as a part of the variable value and that worked as expected.
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for looking into my query.
I can see you've inserted > symbol and it worked, however when I added the whole string of answers for the 2nd data field, I got the answer wrong. In this file I attach, I include all the supposedly correct answers. The spacing between the word and symbols are part of the answer as it it C programming.
Again I put the correct answers here. you can see I've put these same answer in the "value"
The correct answer to the question should be:
1st data entry field answer is
if ( number >= largest )
2nd data entry field answer is
largest = number
Hi Enna,
I tested your file again - and was able to receive a correct result. To confirm that I was entering everything in exactly I included a variable reference at the bottom of the slide to ensure it was being captured - and so that it was easier to see when I got the "correct" message. I did notice that here you wrote the second correct answer was "largest = number" whereas the trigger was for " largest = number;" so you'll see that's what I used.
Also, since the values are not set until the control loses focus, you'll need to click outside the text entry boxes or use the enter key to set the values and therefore be able to submit. Using the variable reference on the slide helps you see that happen.
