Matching drop-down trigger

Hi Thomas,

Good question! We currently don't have a trigger event that monitors when a Matching Dropdown has been interacted with. As a workaround, I recommend connecting the Mouse Hover event with the last dropdown to enable the Submit button. The screenshot below shows that this object corresponds with Text Box 6.

You can find a sample Storyline file attached showing this interaction. Let me know if that works for you!

    Hello, this topic is three years old. Has there been any progress on the topic? I have the same/similar problem and can't find a solution.

      Hello NadiaAlmtorp,

      Thanks for following up!

      I don’t have any updates just yet, but I’ve let our product team know that adding a trigger to detect whether a user interacted with a dropdown in a Matching Dropdown interaction could be helpful for your use case. We’ll keep you posted if anything changes on that front.

      In the meantime, as Walt suggested, you might try using Storyline’s built-in feature where the Submit button shows a warning until all dropdowns are filled out.

      Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have more questions!
