Question - How to set the default style on an MCQ?
I have a great custom template design that is set using the slide master and feedback master.
Most of the visual elements and positions of the content in each slide are controlled by the masters.... However, I cannot seem to find and set the default style for "multiple choice" questions.
I can manually set the style for the buttons and rollover states, then copy that style using the "format painter" to repeat the styles for each question option but this method is ultimately flawed as any changes to states will mean after a style change is applied to the states I am unable to auto change all the states at once.

My question is, how do I set / alter the default state of "multiple choice" inputs and apply that state to the slide master? See screenshot for specific element.
Any help would be appriciated.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for reaching out!
There isn't a way to set the default appearance of multiple choice items, but I found this helpful community post where a user shared a solution that they came up with to make the designs of their question slides uniform.
I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!
Yes, using format painter for questions is clunky, quirky and time consuming. Now that we have Slide Master and Feedback Master, it's time for Question Master. I'm begging. Bring it on. Please.
A lot of the links I click on recently appear to be broken or pointing to content that's no longer there, including the one quoted above: "https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/slide-masters-and-question-slides." Can you please update these links, or hide/delete any posts that refer to them? Broken links are big time wasters.
Hi OSBCProduction,

I'm sorry to hear you've been encountering broken links. It looks like the discussion Jose referenced has been archived in our new community. To keep the site and conversations relevant, we chose to migrate discussions that were newer than 3 years. This means that some older content may no longer be accessible. It will take some time for search engines to update their results accordingly.
There may be a few discussions, such as this one that just missed the cutoff of what we'd archive. I recognize this may be frustrating, and we appreciate you sharing your concern. If there is a specific issue with your course you'd like help with, we'd be happy to assist you! Please feel free to share those details here or privately in a support case.
