Storyline Text Entry Marked as Incorrect When Pressing Enter Button

Hello!

I am currently using text entry in storyline. There is a submit button. When you enter the text and press the submit button on the screen it is marked as correct. But when you enter the same text and press the enter button on your keyboard it is marked as incorrect. 

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

Here are the triggers:

 

Here are the variables:

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Did you build the "set correct answer . . ." Triggers?

    I do not think those should be necessary.

      Should I delete them? Does storyline already have one? I'll look into this in the meantime.

      I used the built-in variable: Question.Correct and it still does not work.

    This articulate article says the enter button and submit button should behave the same but they do not.

    If you use Storyline's Quiz feature, it will do most of the work for you. Therefore, unless you want something pretty custom, you just fill out the form in Form View.  In your case, you type in the acceptable answer "internal" and then check that it is not case-sensitive and it should work without any additional triggering from you.

    So, the triggers inside the square in this graphic are not even needed:

      Thank you for notifying me of this! I completely forgot to check the form view. I have updated my settings, and it works beautifully!

    I don't have the "field to evaluate" in my case. Can anyone explain why?   Thanks

      Hello Ivo,

      Please make sure you are using the "Freeform Question -> Text Entry" slide to see the options available in TanyaThampip494's screenshot. It looks like you are using the "Graded Question -> Fill-in-the-Blank" question slide, which doesn't have the option to select which field to use.

        Thanks Jose, this answers my question, but raises another one.

        This slide was part of a graded quiz, in which the student need to write the answer with only 2 words acceptable.

        but for some reason, right now, any word is accepted as a right answer.

        I have included a screen shot of all acceptable combinations of those two words.

        Any idea on how I can make sure that only those words are accepted?

        Many thanks

        - Ivo
