Multiple text entry fields reporting data to LMS
I'm trying to create a page on which the user completes several text entry boxes (there is no right or wrong answer, technically) and that data gets reported to the LMS. I have found ways to set it up as a freeform pick one or individual text entry question, but haven't found a way to have all of the text field entries be reported to the LMS. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi I have this table where I want to let the learners fill in the data by typing into the text field entry then capturing it and communicating it to the LMS.
How do I go about doing this?
Hi, I have 3 TextEntery fields on the same slide. I want to submit responses to LMS. Here is have review question and I need to know how it is possible.
- Can I submit responses to LMS without converting the slide to FreeForm or any type of question slide?
- Which type of question slide allows me to get multiple responses and submit responses to LMS without a result slide(I have closed out the slide after this text entry slide)?
- Does LMS track all text entry fields in the published SCORM files or every time we need to submit responses?
Thank You!
Hello Sync Learning Experiences,
Happy to help!
Allow me to address each of your inquiries individually.
- Can I submit responses to LMS without converting the slide to FreeForm or any type of question slide?
- You'll need to use a form-based question slides in order to submit the responses to your LMS for reporting purposes. - Which type of question slide allows me to get multiple responses and submit responses to LMS without a result slide(I have closed out the slide after this text entry slide)?
- This isn't possible to do without a results slide. You'll need a Results slide to send the responses of your learners to your LMS. - Does LMS track all text entry fields in the published SCORM files or every time we need to submit responses?
- If you include all of the form-based slides that accept text-entry from users in a Results slide, then yes, these will be submitted and tracked in the LMS. You can also elect not to include specific questions from being included in the Results slide.
Additionally, if you're trying to do more customization with your user's input that aren't covered by the standard form-based question slides, you can take a look at this article for an alternative way to accept and record user's input in your LMS:

Hi Articulate Community,
This is my first time posting in the community and I'm hoping to get some help. I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd post from this as the scenario above is pretty much what I'm trying to achieve.
We are implementing an LMS (Moodle) and I'm doing some testing as we need to report learner responses that are entered into free text fields to our LMS. There will be multiple free text fields on the same slide.
I've read through the above thread and the below article for assistance - https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Send-the-Value-of-a-Variable-to-an-LMS
I've been successful in getting the responses to report back to the LMS, but the issue I'm having is that I'm not able to successfully 'hide' the short answer question slides. I've set a new trigger to submit the interaction on the short answer question slides when the timeline starts on the slide, but when previewing it, I get the pop up 'Invalid Answer. You must complete the question before submitting'. The submit trigger is firing before the adjustable variable trigger, so it thinks the question isn't answered. The only way I've gotten around it is to set the submit interaction trigger to fire when the timeline reaches 0.02, but this means the learner will see the question slides.
I've attached my test file, any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm sure there's something simple I've missed.
Thank you in advance.
