Hi, Alex,

Storyline creates a new set of results variables every time you insert a new Results slide. The first set doesn't include a number in the variable names. The second set adds a 1, the third set adds a 2, etc. They are (supposed to be) numbered in the order they're created.

  • There's no correlation with the scene number, since there could be multiple Results within one scene.
  • Personally, I wish they'd include "1" in the first one, etc., so the numbers would be more likely to line up with scenes. But I doubt that's gonna happen.

It's "unexpected behavior" that you're not seeing numbers 3 & 4, yet you have number 5 & 6. Did you ever delete a Results slide in the course? 

In any case, you can't rename those built-in variables. I've never tried re-assigning them by editing the triggers; that seems like it's asking for trouble.
