Menu.SlideTitle Variable Updating
To add titles to my slides, I added the menu.slidetitle variable to my course's slide masters. All works fine, but when I preview a set of slides, I found that SL updates the variable before the next slide comes up.
Here's the behavior: I am on Slide 1. I click Next, then, for a split second, the slide title on Slide 1 changes to Slide 2's title, then the slide transitions. So it seems like there's a timing issue where the variable updates before the slide. Does anyone know a simple solution (like a 1-time javascript injection or a trigger) to fix that?
Articulate Developers: Do you have any thoughts on this?
You should probably set your custom slide title variable equal to the project’s slide title variable when the timeline starts, using a trigger on the master slide. Here’s a quick demonstration:
I don't think a fix is possible with javascript as you are using the built in variables.
This is a bug that means when you press next the slide has changed but the transition means you can see the variable change.
