How to disable "Hit Enter Key to Advance Slide "
We don't want students to advance to next one before they view the whole slide. So we hide the next button until the end of the slide.

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share some great news! We are no longer seeing this bug that prevented the enter key from functioning as expected when submitting answers on a freeform text entry field with an expanded height in Storyline.
Please make sure that you are using the current version of Storyline 360 (3.72.29699.0). This guide walks you through installing, updating, and opening Articulate 360 apps.
Please let us know if you're still encountering the issue and we'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you in a support case.
This idea seems like it would work. I created an error message layer and have the trigger set to show the layer when the user presses Enter after clicking on the numeric entry, but it seems to be ignoring the trigger and moving to the next slide every time Enter is used.
I have tried other things as well:
- Restricting navigation - the player is disabled for this project.
- Using a content slide instead of a question slide as per this article: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/how-the-enter-key-behaves-in-data-entry-fields-sl2
- Changing the submit keys - that option doesn't show up for me on form view
- Setting various triggers for the Enter key
Have any other solutions for this come up in the meantime?
Hi Sadie,
I’m sorry to hear that this option didn’t work for you. If you upload your .story file, I’d be happy to review it. Alternatively, I can share my demo file for you to explore. Please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance!
