Storyline 360 Quiz Try Again: Keep showing the correct answers after selecting try again
Ooh this is a good one. Took me a moment to see what was going on.
On the Try Again layer, you're changing selected states to the custom state Correct if the choice was selected when submitted. Upon returning to the base layer, the custom states are selected showing the checkmark. That's the issue with the interaction.
Custom states are not registered as selected which is the built-in state Storyline's looking for to evaluate what the learner selected.
Simple fix: Add two additional triggers to the Submit button to quickly change correctly selected choices from custom state back to built-in Selected state. The learner won't see this because it happens immediately but Storyline will see the change and register the choices as selected.

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but based on the logic you've described, this approach should yield a positive outcome. It’s best to bind all events on the 'Try Again' layer directly to the 'Try Again' button. I’ve attached a simple .story file for reference, where the interaction works as expected according to your description.
In this setup, correct answers remain selected if they were chosen in the first attempt, while incorrect answers are reset after closing the 'Try Again' layer provided they were selected during the first attempt. If all correct answers are selected during the second attempt, the 'Correct' layer is displayed as expected.
As David suggested, it's best to upload an example of your current setup so others can take a closer look.
The difference is that you are using a Multiple Response built-in. I am using the Pick Many free form. Perhaps that is the issue. 🤔
The issue is that you're applying the "Drop Correct" state to the correct options while on the "Try Again" layer. However, when the "Try Again" layer is closed and the interaction is submitted again, Storyline expects the correct options to be in the default "Selected" state.
Since the correct choices are technically in a custom state (like "Drop Correct") and not in the "Selected" state, Storyline treats them as unselected and marks the answer as invalid.
See the attached updated .story file and let me know if it works for you. I’ve styled the 'Disabled' state to visually match the 'Drop Correct' state. If you have any questions about why the 'Disabled' state works in this case, I’ll try to explain.Thanks, Nedim. I can do exactly the same thing, but what I want to do is to maintain the applicable state of each option after the user selects try again, so they can see what was correct and incorrect. Currently, both your and Dave's suggestions require the state to return to unselected (normal) when the user clicks try again. 🤔
I may have to switch to the built-ins, which are not as visually accessible due to sizing limitations. But there you have it.
