How can I use Storyline 360 variables in custom xAPI statements as Number (not as String)
Hi,
Perhaps somebody knows this and I miss something obvious :-)
I have a few Storyline360 Number variables.

Hi Everyone,
I have some exciting news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 82, we’ve included important fixes and new features.
One of the fixes we’ve included is:
You no longer need to add quotes to variable values in custom xAPI statements.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi Zsolt,
Even though it is a possibility for sure, I want to avoid changing files or doing extra steps because I am not the one creating courses and I am afraid this might be 'forgotten' to run. Especially since the content goes not into systems I control but into any system of our customers.
I also added this to support and was in contact with them in back and forth to explain.
In the end, Cleo (support engineer) mentioned the following:
The xAPI specs say all that data should be numerical: https://github.com/adlnet/xAPI-Spec/blob/master/xAPI-Data.md#Score
This looks like it’s an issue on our end. I’ve logged it as a possible software bug.
So indeed, non-conformant and a 'bug' in Storyline. I am waiting for follow-ups from their side... please create a support ticket as well. More tickets might speed up the process a bit :-)
