Invalid Answer - You must complete the question before submitting (Pick Many)

Hi Andrea!

Thanks for sharing your file and allowing me to take a look. I'm not experiencing an issue with your course. It works as you've designated in the Form View by selecting the correct text boxes below the images.

Based on the slide view - I assume you actually want the users to select the images vs the text. Is that correct?

You can update the 'correct' answers in the form view. 

Thank you Leslie.  Yes, you are correct. I want them to select images (or text).

The issue occurred when selecting "Submit".  I got the Invalid Answer - You must complete the question before submitting screen.  I redid the slide a couple of times and it finally worked, but I don't know what I did differently. 

Well, glad it is working - did you update the correct answers in the form view like I shared above? Maybe that did it :) Thanks for popping in with an update.

Oh no, Michelle!

I'd be glad to help you out.

Could you share your .story file so that I could take a look at what you're experiencing?

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for your help - I've attached the file. I've made the same slide twice to see if that made any difference so they are the same.

Regards,

Michelle

This seems to be an issue with your custom Submit button. When I enable the Default Submit button, or insert a new button, it works. I would try recreating the Submit button. 

Just to add to this - I was using a slider to change a few object states to selected in a freeform pick one. I didn't realise that the slider has a selected state too, so I kept getting the same error. The workaround is to delete the selected state for the slider, and the submit button if you're using one.

Greetings! I am having a similar issue with a Pick Many question that I am using in a slightly unusual manner. This is a simulation and I am setting the state of the correctly selected objects based on variables that change when the user clicks the appropriate responses determined on separate layers. Some of my questions seem to work just fin while others do not.  I am about to pull my hair out! 

If someone could take a look, I'd be grateful.

TIA!

Since the only trigger that uses When timeline starts is Reset Assessment, I wouldn't use the jump to this slide triggers. Instead, I'd show the Reset Assessment layer, and close it when its timeline ends. Since the slide is set to automatically decide on revisit, it seems you are choosing to randomly either keep, or reset the states of all the objects. I don't think it's a good idea to trust that. I would change the "Jump to this slide" triggers to "Show Reset Assessment layer". That way, instead of jumping to the slide, and resetting, you would be resetting, and staying with everything as it is.

If that doesn't help, save my little remaining hair. Tell us which things work, which ones don't, and especially what do you want them to do, and what do they do instead.

Walt, Thanks for the input. I did not always want to reset the slide. I created a flow chart to walk myself through the process and tried several things that came to mind while doing this. Adding  an "always true option to the Pick Many interaction is what fixed it.
