Print list of triggers
Hello,
I have a bug with my triggers, but there are so many I would like to know if it is possible to print my triggers (and only them), to go through on the paper and not on my screen. I mean it could be easier to look for my mistake on paper.
If you know how to do it, thank you very much !

Thanks for checking in, Yakov. It really helps us to know how many folks would like to see this feature added to Storyline. I don't have any updates yet, but I did want to share a bit more on our process for managing all the ideas we receive from the community!
Dear Alyssa,
In most environments that allow for coding one can access/copy/print the
code. This is very surprizing and awkward that such a straightforward
operation is not possible in Storyline and I'm hoping this will be fixed in
the future.Best,

I'm going to add my two cents here. I'm faced with needing to review some very complicated triggers for the third project in the past couple of months. I have been using screenshots into a Word doc to accomplish this, but it is very time consuming and not very pretty. For longer triggers I have to open the edit trigger box and screenshot that too.
For those of us taking our eLearning to a higher level than what we could do in PowerPoint, the ability to get a print of the triggers would be valuable. Even the ability to print triggers on a a slide-by-slide or layer-by-layer basis would be a wonderful first step in the process.
Thanks, everyone. This is really valuable feedback, and we appreciate hearing how we can make Storyline work harder and smarter for you. I'm going to share all of this with my team on your behalf.
I also have determined that printing out a list of triggers would be a useful tool when comparing pages that seem to work differently. Any word on this ?
No change yet Dave, but we are working on some really exciting things with Storyline! I hope once we're able to share you'll be as excited as we are. 😀
Thanks, I've solved it with undocking and printing screen shots

http://ocfs.ny.govIsn't that a shame that an expensive package like this requires capturing
and printing screenshots in place of missing copy-paste option.
Oh! Nice workaround Dave.

Hi Yakov,
Are you looking to copy and paste triggers? You can do that within Storyline but there isn't yet a feature to copy and paste the text of those triggers to an external document like Word.
Hope that helps clarify and we'll keep you posted on any new features connected to triggers here in the E-Learning Heroes community and on our “What’s New” page!
Hi,
I do not see a way to copy and paste a set of triggers from one object to
another. I understand this can be done one trigger at a time but this is
very irritating with dosens of triggers I'm using.
I would be grateful to hear if there's a solution apart from duplicating
the objects (this does not work for me since my objects are very different).
Thanks!
Hi Yakov,
Sorry for the additional frustration - you can copy one trigger at a time, or as you mentioned duplicate an object. Could you share an example here with us of your trigger set up - I suspect someone in the community could offer some other ideas or methods they've used to copy multiple triggers!
Any update on this request from 7 years ago? Being able to print out the triggers for debugging is REALLY needed!
Thanks, Beth.
I responded to your post here, but I wanted to let you know that I've added this conversation to the report as well.
Over two years ago (and 9 since this request started). Any luck? How do your programmers work without being able to debug?
