Initiate State: Disabled (Not Working)
Hi all,
I've changed the initial state to disabled on a "Start" button. When I preview, I still see the normal state "Start" button. Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

Hi, Oscar.
There's no need to apologize - we're all learning from each other! 😊
Here's how you can find the "is not disabled" trigger:
I am also sending you the edited .story file with the changes.
Let me know if this works!

Here is a YouTube video of my issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5OtXzramCI Hope it makes sense. I've also attached the .story file.

Hi Oscar,
It looks like your text entry field is out of focus as soon as the timeline starts. To make it work, please add a condition to your existing trigger "Change state of startbtn - Start to Normal" to read "if userName not equal value (blank)". This way the userName will be captured before the start button is enabled.

Thank you so much, Den! I appreciate the time you took to help me!

Hi, Oscar.
Thank you for sharing your .story file and the recording of what you're experiencing!
Den gave you a great suggestion above to fix the start button not showing as disabled. The hidden text is still showing, however, so I would also change the greeting trigger to:
Change the state of greeting to Normal when the state of startbtn is not disabled.
I hope this helps!

Thank you for your response Maria! However, the "not disabled" option is not showing? Sorry, I'm a newbie to this. Thank you again!
