Storyline 360 : scene (section) name variable ??

If there was a variable, wouldn't you have to paste the reference on every slide?

You could use a text variable and then a trigger to change the name of the variable based on the scene. Place that trigger in the slide master and then apply the same layout to the slides in a given scene. Thus it would change the title based on the scene

You can submit a feature request if you'd like to see a scene name variable. 

Personally, I'm not sure it's that much more work to insert one variable reference and a single trigger per scene. Although I get the convenience of a one click solution.

I have a text variable called ChapterName. In the master slide, I have a text box that contains [%ChapterName% (Page %MenuSection.SlideNumber% of %MenuSection.TotalSlides%].

It works fine, as long as I make sure that I include a trigger to set %ChapterName% on every possible entry point to every scene (basically, that means setting a trigger on every slide). This not too bad because I can duplicate slides as I'm setting up a scene. BUT... and this just happened to me today... I have been asked to rename one of the scenes. Granted, it's only 50 slides (and I get paid by the hour) but it's still pretty tedious.

It would be VERY handy, since you already offer %Menu.SlideTitle% and %Menu.SectionNumber%, if the scene title was also made available -- something like %Menu.SectionTitle%.

Hi Kevin!

What an interesting point! We always enjoying hearing new ideas. Would you mind sharing that in a feature request?

Hello Kevin!

I hear what you're saying! Thanks for taking the time to share a new idea! We'll report back when we hear of an update.

Any news on this Lauren? Just like Kevin I have a loooot of slides I need to change (but I don´t get payed by the hour). On a sidenote, you should implement a voting system on proposed functionality on the roadmap site, I´m guessing there are alot of people who experience the same issues as a lot of the posters in the forum threads and not speaking up, it could increase the retention rate if you made a customer centric change like this. 

Hi Kristoffer,

No updates yet, but we'll be sure to jump into this discussion as soon as there's any news to share.

I also appreciate the feedback on a voting system! We're focused on getting customer feedback and feature requests the best way possible, so I'd be happy to bring this up internally with our team for further discussion, thanks!

Love that we now have a built-in variable for Slide title, but wondering why we can't have Scene title. Please make this a reality.

I would like to add my voice to adding a variable for SceneTitle since we already have Menu.SectionNumber as mentioned above.  :)

Thanks, Danny. I've submitted a feature request on your behalf.
