Populating variables based on button states

Hello! I have a storyline slide that contains 30 words. I want the user to be able to choose 10 of the 30 words. Choosing the words will populate the variables so they can be taken through to the ...

It can be done with just triggers and variables but it is going to be a lot of triggers and conditions.

You will need 10 triggers on each button with conditions, e.g.

Set Choice1 to Acceptance if Choice 1 on condition is equal to blank

Set Choice1 to Acceptance if Choice 1 on condition is not equal to "Choice" AND Choice2 is equal to blank

Etc....

You will need to have triggers to remove the value if they deselect it (although I would be tempted to lock them, by setting to disabled instead of selected, and then. have a reset button).

    Thanks for replying Phil!

    I don't think that will work- as adding them triggers causes everything to populate.

    I have a working example of what I need using html/JS if this explains it better. I think because it needs to be dynamic I will need to use JS. Just can't seem to get this to work in storyline.
