Reset to initial state not working on an activity not being tracked
Morning, I have one more issue with my e-learning. I have an activity (slide 2), I set it to "Reset to initial state" when revisiting.
but when I go to the next slide and press the previous button, the activity slide still shows what I typed in the text entry box.
I am thinking i need some type of trigger to clear the text entry box but can't figure it out. And really thought resetting should have worked.
I have attached just the slide before and after the one I am having an issue with. You can type anything in the text entry box the answer will come up when submit is pressed.
This is not being tracked with a results slide, this is just a random activity they can try throughout the course.
Thanks Teresa

Thank you!! I'm going to be using a lot of these slides so it sounds as if there's a bug with Storyline and I have to use your workaround, correct?
Hello Silvia,
Thanks for sharing the affected slides, and shout out to Phil for stepping in!
Like your experience with the latest file, the text box on the first slide resets when I click the Previous icon but doesn't reset on the following slides:
I believe this is connected to an open bug in Storyline 360 where text-entry fields integrated with question slides carry over pre-loaded text options on the following slide.
From here, I'd like to get a second opinion from our talented Support team to gain more insight. A case with all the relevant info provided here should be in your inbox.
See you there!
Hello everyone!
I wanted to share that we are no longer seeing this bug, Jumping back to a Freeform text entry slide with When Revisiting set to "Reset to initial state" will bounce you back to your starting slide., in our latest version of Storyline 360.
I'd recommend using Storyline 360 (Build 3.61.27106.0) or later.
You can reach out to our Support Team in this discussion or privately in a support case.
