Quiz: Sequence Drop Down / Machting Drop Down: Order of Options
Hi,
In a sequence drop-down question slide I placed seven statements on the left side - each corresponding with an option in the drop-down-menu on the right.
The problem: the order of the options in the drop-down is shuffled with each instance. The customer would like to have the options in the same order every time.
There is a "shuffle answers" function in this question, but for some reason in my case this function is greyed out:
I tried using a "Matching Dropdown"-Question instead, but this did not change anything.
Is there a way I can turn off the shuffling of the drop-down menu options?
Kind Regards,
Frank
Hi Frank!
I've tried this before and toggling the shuttle option on/off is not available from the Built-in Graded Option>Sequence Drop Down Interaction and also the Matching Dropdown interaction (by default)
Feature requests can be submitted here.
Hi Frank,
Thanks Hazel for your helpful input!
In Storyline, the Matching Drag-and-Drop answer choices are shuffled automatically. There are many quiz formats that might be a better fit to what your customer is looking for.
Here are just a few types of quiz formats:
Drag and Drop
Pick One
Pick Many
Text Entry
Hotspot
Shortcut KeyAnd don't forget to add a results slide!
Hi all,
Thanks for your Feedback. I submitted a feature request a while ago.
Any update on this request?
Hello Paul!
Thank you for checking in! This feature hasn't made it on our feature roadmap yet, but when it does, I'll make sure to update you in this discussion!
Just so you know, this simple feature request not making it onto the "feature roadmap" (when frankly it should have been built into the software from the beginning) after 4 years is embarrassing, especially considering what Articulate charges for this software.
I wanted to use this as a replacement for drag and drop matching but this bug makes this question type unusable for most of my clients. PLEASE FIX THIS.
Hello Randall,
The Matching Drag-and-Drop answer choices are automatically shuffled by design in Storyline 360, so we aren't tracking this as a bug but rather a Feature Request. We'll let you know if this makes it to our product roadmap, but you're also welcome to add your vote to the request here.
I have submitted a feature request for the ability to choose to lock the order of questions in a matching drop-down quiz.
I want to use this 2 years later for a drag and drop replacement because the out of the box drag and drop isn't keyboard friendly. I don't want the options to shuffle. I also want the ability to let the correct choices stay and the incorrect choices to be reset when the user tries again.
You should probably reply to one of the Articulate Staff, ;)
