"Set as Default Button" not keeping all state changes

Hi all, Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. I can't seem to find anything related to the same problem.

I create a button, and make it appear how I want it to for the whole title. When I select "Set as Default Button" it just saves as you would expect.

When I go to add a new button, the states have changed back to some form of default for half of it and I have no idea why! I don't want to be edited the states of every button the team creates, we just don't have time for work arounds.

Ideas please? So far I haven't managed to get anything to stick 100%, even in a completely blank title.

    I agree Mia A.! The ability to add buttons to the media library would be a huge time-saver.

  • At this point, I assume that this issue will never be addressed.  

    If a button is going to be set as a default, logic would assume that all of its attributes, including states, would be saved as well.   This is one of my giant pet peeves  with SL, what's the point with the "Save As Default Button" command if it doesn't  actually save the button in all its glory?

    Yes Joe, seems like Articulate Globate LLC is chasing those hot new revenue streams elsewhere. Storyline 360 has seen some improvement in its output, but long-standing bugs and problems with the editor are left unresolved. Also, there is a lot of very basic editing tools that are left in the dust, and new features which will help speed up development with the tool are not pursued. Instead of better video editing, audio editing, critically needed improvements to the quality of life for timeline editing, we get... 360° pictures. yay. I used it 0 times so far. Articulate used to be the cool guys. Now we are just cows to milk for recurring revenue, and Storyline 360 is left to flounder  :(

      From an email that I recently received.  

      "New in Rise 360: 1,000+ prebuilt templates so you can publish the online content you need, faster"

      I guess that we know where they have been spending their resources...  not on dealing with some of the long-standing issues in Storyline.

      To be fair, there have been a few nice items taken care of, but...

      I do appreciate the new image library considering the pandemic forced our department to give up our subscription to another image service.  

  • Still a pending issue after more than 7 yeary - pretty frustrating for it being something you would be using very frequently.

      At this point I guess it is ”Working as intended”
