Let user modify a variable
Hi everyone
In my last project i am letting my user to fill in his name. And then this variable is validated with a button name "Validate". But i wonder how to let my user correct this information if he/she did a mistake by typing it.
Is it possible to display this variable in an editable form?
Thank you in advance :)
Best regards

Allowing the learner to edit their name means adding another text entry field where they can retype it. Each text entry field in Storyline is linked to a separate text variable. So, when the learner types a new name in the second field, it updates a different variable — not the original one.
In the example I provided, the original userName variable captures the name entered on the first slide. On the next slide, I added a second text entry field connected to a new variable called updatedName. When the learner clicks the Update button, a trigger sets userName to the value of updatedName, effectively updating the original name.
There is a simple way to let the user edit a previously entered text variable. When you insert a new text-entry field, edit the trigger so that it updates the desired variable.
This is demonstrated in the attached file.
