shuffling in drag and drop
Hi, I would like the order in which questions appear to be shuffled in my drag and drop interaction, but on replay they seem to all cluster together according to their target box. Not sure what I am missing here. I have selected 'shuffle answers'.

Thank you Emily and Leslie!
I have an older version of Storyline (update 8: 14 12.921) and am unable to open the dragdropshuffle.story

Thanks for the update E,
Attached is a sample in Storyline 1. The answers shuffle their position, however the Green item will always be on top.

Emily,
Thank you for the sample. I now understand better how the shuffle works.
Since I stacked the items and also chose to display one drag item at a time, the effect is lost. I think the option I'm looking for is to randomly display one drag item at a time.
I love the prompt and helpful feedback I've received from this community! It's making learning Storyline so much easier. Thanks again for all your support, everyone.

Glad to help Elizabeth!
Sorry this is not the way you wish the shuffle to work, however you could share your thoughts in a feature request. We cannot promise any changes, but it is always helpful to hear what people are looking for!

Hi all
2 years later, a quick UP to Emily's last question (i use storyline 3)
"I think the option I'm looking for is to randomly display one drag item at a time."
Any hints or trick ?
To add complexity (and coolness), id' like items to appear one at a time, randomly, when the user clicks on a picture, the pic being a box. The effect i want to have is that when you click on the magix box, an items pops out. So basicaly a change of state from hidden to visible but the trick is that i want the items to be randomly picked....
cheers

Hello. Has the team solved the known issue of shuffling not working as would be expected on the drag and drop free form question?
Hi Shannon,
The original issue where answer choices didn't shuffle in Storyline 2 was fixed in an earlier update noted here. That was for a freeform pick one, drag/drop, and multiple choice.
I'm hoping you haven't run into the same issue or something similar, but if you have - I'm here to help! 🙂
Can you let me know the following:
- what version/update of Storyline are you using?
- does the question shuffle at all (i.e. on the first attempt, a retry, etc.)?
- is this only happening with freeform drag and drops?
- could you share a copy of that slide from your .story file?
Let me know and we'll keep working on it from there!

I have the same problem in storyline3 . I want the drag items to appear randomly one item at a time. Not sure what I am missing.

Hi Karuna
did you click the ... at the end of the Reveal drag items one at a time and reorder the objects
Hi Karuna,
Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with this.
Are your drag items grouped objects?

Its working now.
Glad Wendy's suggestion was able to help you Karuna, and thanks for the update!
