Retrieve variables from layers?

I have a couple of courses that I use as recruitment tests where I have multiple text entry fields on a slide and am able to pass all of those text entry values to my LMS using short answer question...

Hi Christina!

We're happy to help! It's difficult to confirm whether variables are being used correctly without seeing the file and testing it in an LMS environment. Would you mind uploading the .story file privately to us to take a deeper look at the variables? 

You can upload it privately to our team in a support case. We'll let you know as soon as we receive it and reply with our findings as soon as possible.

    Hi Lauren,

    Thanks for reaching out. I have done some more experimenting and I can confirm that what I'm trying to do does work, ie, it's OK to put the variables I want to pass into the short answer questions on layers all on one slide. The problem was a faulty trigger on one of the short answer slides. I had them all set up to submit when the timeline starts (because that's how it works in my previous projects) but for some reason storyline wants them to submit at the end of the timeline for this one. If it works, who am I to argue. :-)
