Remove zero from Numeric Entry field

Hi   I am using Storyline 360 and have an issue with the Numeric Entry box being populated by a zero when the slide starts. I have Googled this issue but every discussion is over 5 years old. Ha...

I have a work around which is not as good as a bug fix, but it did the trick.

  1. Create your first numeric entry as a "throwaway" entry. Let Articulate name it and the variable whatever its default is. (This was necessary for my use case because I have numeric entries on several slides in several stories, so I don't want the default name change to potentially impact other triggers code.)
  2. Make copies of that numeric entry. You can rename the numeric entry box in the timeline and rename the variable in variables. (This is not ideal. I had already established my variables and had to delete those to rename the new ones so my JS code would work, but that was my simplest workflow.)
  3. Delete or hide the throwaway entry. (Don't delete the variable, just hide or delete from the timeline.)
