Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I am now able to work on this again. Christie - I've attached the test I'm trying to fix. it is slide #4.  Thank you for your help!

Hi, Kandice -- Thanks so much for your reply and for attaching your .story file. We'll take a look and will be in touch with as soon as possible!

Hello everyone.

I am a fairly new Storyline user and I am trying to build a multiple text-entry question for which text entries have multiple possible answers...

I am using an approach similar to that described in Jeanette Brooks' tutorial, except I have "intermediate" buttons being used with variables to help deal with the multiple answers issue.

So...

I have 7 text entries (named TextEntry3 to TextEntry 9)
I have 13 hidden buttons, 3 of which (Button 3, 6 and 13) are used as the Pick Many correct answers.

Buttons 1 and 2 trigger button 3, based on the values of TextEntry3 and 4)
Buttons 4 and 5 trigger button 6, based on the values of TextEntry5 and 6)
Buttons 7 to 12 trigger button 13, based on the values of TextEntry7, 8 and 9)

The expected answers are:
TextEntry3 and 4: itu, ipf (in any order)
TextEntry5 and 6: ipvg, ipvd (in any order)
TextEntry7 to 9: ipi1, ipi2, ipi3 (in any order)
Case does not matter.

I know it's not elegant (to say the least!), but shouldn't it work?
I add my file here if anyone can offer a hint.

Thank you very much!

(PS: If I only check one of the correct answer buttons in the Pick Many answer grid, the slide behaves OK. I have problems when checking more than one. Not sure if it has to do with the sequence of triggers...)

Awesome Annie! Thanks for popping back in to share an update.

I just tried my hand at this and found that I could get the same results with a lot fewer if then statements by using a Multiple Response question and changing the state of the checkboxes to selected when the user selects submit if the text entry variable equals what I want it to equal. I then put the checkboxes in the background so that they are not visible and Story line does all of the work for me. I am open to ideas and thoughts about this solutions.

Thanks Mark, sounds like an interesting set up! The cool thing about Storyline is you can often accomplish a task in a number of different ways, so find the way that works for you! If you're able to share a copy of the .story file here so that others could take a look that's also always a great idea and way to give back to the community! 

Glad that this thread was able to assist you as well Jessica! Thanks for popping in to share.

Really nicely done Diana - thanks for sharing here to assist Anita.
