Storyline 360 will not send custom XAPI statement that contains a variable

I just want it to send 1 variable that contains text, but it will not. The statement is accepted in Storyline when I create it. I am able to see other calls showing up in my LRS from the course when I publish it. But the custom XAPI statement I have attached to a button will not send. Please help me. Everything is attached here.

  • For anyone who finds this, god bless your soul. Here is the answer:

    Start with your standard "Send XAPI Statement" trigger, chose your verb, and choose an object. I chose the slide as the object. Make sure you give it an ID. 

    Here's the 2 lines of code that makes everything work:

      },
      "result": {
        "response": "%TextEntry1%"
      }
    }

    Articulate you need to update your documentation. When you negelct absolutely essential information like this, you waste countless hours of people's time. 3 days in my case! Expect an invoice in the mail.

    Full code:

    {
      "verb": {
        "id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/answered",
        "display": {
          "en-US": "Answered"
        }
      },
      "object": {
        "objectType": "Activity",
        "definition": {
          "name": {
            "en-US": "%Project.SlideTitle%"
          }
        },
        "id": "%Project.ActivityId%/%Slide.Id%/Q1RP"
      },
      "result": {
        "response": "%TextEntry1%"
      }
    }

    I attached my storyline file as well, it has some other crazy stuff it the javascript if you dare to dream.

  • In the xAPI statement, this section

        "definition": {
          "name": {
            "en-US": %TextEntry1%,
          }
        },

    Shouldn't the %TextEntry1% be enclosed in quotes?

      Articulate issued a "fix" in Jan 2024 for this and that's what they've been replying to other posts with as the official solution. However I am not finding any success with this. I am doing nothing but using the boilerplate XAPI fucntionality on a button. 1 variable. Veracity LRS.
