Quiz timer
It seems the quiz timer is still allowing learners to complete the quiz, and obtain a success result even if the timer has expired. Apparently it is a known bug that will be fixed in the next version, but I don't know how old that information is...
Is there a variable that is set when the timer expires that i can then use to display a different result layer and adjust the score?
Is there a way to customize the feedback dialog for the timer expiry?

Hi Guy,
This issue is one our team is aware of, and I don't have an update to share in regards to a timeframe, but I'll include this thread as a part of the QA report so that when there is additional information to share I'll be able to update you here.
Unfortunately there is a not a accessible variable which you could use to set the score, but you may want to look at setting up a custom timer as then you could control the pause of the quiz and the score as you'd like.

I see that this post is two years old, however, I hope the wheels are still in motion to look into it unless it has been fixed in version 2.
I'm using SL1 and I encountered a rare event when the quiz timer expires on the last question answered correctly.
In my quiz, the passing score is 100%, the Review Quiz option is not checked, the user can retry, and the quiz timer is set for two minutes.
After answering all questions correctly, I clicked the Submit button on the last question at 1:59. I got both the Correct feedback and the time expired alert.
When I clicked the OK button on the alert, it took me to the start of the quiz but it showed the completed question, and clicking the submit button had no effect. There were no other navigation options. I was stuck.
I have tried to reproduce this, but it only happened once.

Hi, William -- Thanks for reaching out! Would you like to share you file in order for us to see if we can replicate the issue you have described? If you'd like to share for private review, here is the form you would need to submit. :)
Hi William,
If you've only seen this occur once and you're unable to reproduce it following the same steps, it's difficult to say if it's the same issue or what is occurring. I do see some existing issues with the Quiz timer in Storyline 2 - but they don't seem to match your issue. If you'd like us to take a look at the .story file you're welcome to share the information and the file with us here or send along to our Support team here.

Hi Christie, Ashley, Attached is my .story file. There are two quizzes. I haven't tested them both, but what I described was at the end of the second one. Thanks for having a look.

Thanks for sharing your file, William! I am checking it out momentarily and will let you know my findings as soon as possible. Your patience is appreciated! :)

Hi, William -- Thanks for your patience while I tested your file. Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the issue, so as Ashley recommended, you may want to use this link to submit a case to our Support Engineers for further investigation.

Hi Christie,
FYI, I didn't intend my quiz to be publicly visible, so I have removed it from my previous post.
I just tried it again in SCORM Cloud, and this time, after completing the last question (drag and drop) but without clicking Submit, I just waited for the time to run out. That's when I was able to reproduce the problem.
As you suggest, I will submit it as a case.
Thanks!
Thanks William - and if you'd like to share the case number once you've submitted it, we'll be able to follow along as well. Also, if you need Christie to remove the link to your course, please let us know and she'll be able to update her post.

Thanks Ashley, Christie!

Hi, William -- Thanks for your reply. As your course had been shared here in the thread, I thought I would share the link to your published output via SCORM Cloud for others following along, but in the interests of protecting your privacy, I have now removed that portion from my previous post. My apologies for any confusion!
