Random Buttons Won't Hide
Hi,
I have this dropdown slide that has created this issue.
For context, there are three buttons and three states: Summary, Stops, and Item Detail. The user needs to click each one before they move on (and yes I realize I don't have a restriction on that yet).
The problem lies with the buttons. When I switch to the Stops state, the "Stops" button from the base layer stays on the screen (look outside to the left of the dropdown bar). The same issue exists in the "Item Detail" state with the "Item Detail" button. Both are white so look closely - it took me multiple rounds of QA to catch this.
When I've had this issue in the past, I've been able to figure it out by hiding everything on the slide and deleting the unnecessary items. But I tried that and that doesn't seem to be working. I've also tried setting them to Hidden but that doesn't work either.
I attached the slide in question. If someone can figure out how to get these unnecessary buttons off these states that would be lovely.
Hi StefanieKirs743,
Thanks for sharing your file! I took a closer look, and the extra buttons were appearing because the Main Button on the base layer was still being shown when switching states.
Adding a trigger to set the Main Button to Hidden when the user clicks the Stops button resolves that behavior. You’ll want to make the same change on the Item Detail button as well, so the Main Button stays hidden in that view too.
I’m attaching a modified version of your file with the update applied to the Stops button so you can use it as a reference.
If you have any questions or want another set of eyes once you make the same adjustment to the Item Detail button, feel free to share it here.
