Pick One Quiz Issue Allows Multiple Selections
Need your help!
Attached file shows several quiz questions.
3.1 and 3.2 are operating the way I prefer. User selects an answer, which displays selected state of outlined in purple. If one decides on the other option, that one shows selected and the other one deselects on its own.
On the other quiz slides, it allows user to select more than one answer, placing all their choices in the purple outline selected state.
How do I get it to behave like the ones in 3.1, 3.2?
Thank you!

Hi, Cyd.
Thank you for sharing your .story file!
If you add the buttons to a button set, then only one will be in selected mode at any given time.
Select all the buttons, right-click and choose Button Set, then Button Set 1:
Let me know if this works!
Thank you! I will give it a try! Is a better practice to create each answer as a button? I was using shapes. In the cases where I have shapes with text on top (grouping), adding as a button set is not an option.
The fix would be to either create the answers as a button or shape with edited text?
Cyd, that is correct! Each button set will allow one button to be selected at a time.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
Cyd,
Ungroup the shapes and throw away the text. Click on the shape and type the text, or right click the shape and choose to edit the text. That makes the text part of the shape, and you can group the states as a button set. Even if it doesn't work the way you want, you'll be so much happier without the groups - your states and triggers will actually work.
Thank you Walt! That's what I ended up doing, you are right, it works so much better than groups! Always learning. I didn't understand how button sets functioned and now I do.
