Storyline 360 will not send custom XAPI statement that contains a variable

For anyone who finds this, god bless your soul. Here is the answer:

Start with your standard "Send XAPI Statement" trigger, chose your verb, and choose an object. I chose the slide as the object. Make sure you give it an ID. 

Here's the 2 lines of code that makes everything work:

  },
  "result": {
    "response": "%TextEntry1%"
  }
}

Articulate you need to update your documentation. When you negelct absolutely essential information like this, you waste countless hours of people's time. 3 days in my case! Expect an invoice in the mail.

Full code:

{
  "verb": {
    "id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/answered",
    "display": {
      "en-US": "Answered"
    }
  },
  "object": {
    "objectType": "Activity",
    "definition": {
      "name": {
        "en-US": "%Project.SlideTitle%"
      }
    },
    "id": "%Project.ActivityId%/%Slide.Id%/Q1RP"
  },
  "result": {
    "response": "%TextEntry1%"
  }
}

I attached my storyline file as well, it has some other crazy stuff it the javascript if you dare to dream.
