Submit button has to be clicked twice

Hi Ben

you didn't have a submit interaction trigger which I've added but couple of questions

1. do you want the items to snap back if they are incorrectly dropped

2. there is only one attempt allowed and no feedback layers so if I get it incorrect what happens - how do I know?

Hi Wendy - the client I am working for has asked for no feedback so we have removed the 2 layers. I have set the items to snap back if they are incorrectly placed. My example was purely to illustrate the Submit button problem :) 

The idea is that the user can only progress once all items are correctly dropped. - I managed to solve it by checking the box in drag and Drop options labelled "Delay item drop states until interaction submitted". 

Thanks for your time though :)

Thanks, Ben, for sharing your solution!

Wendy, I had the same problem with my file. Thanks for your response to Ben. That solved my issue. Thank you. LaVon

I am having the same issue that I need to click the submit button twice.  This solution works but I want the feedback of correct or incorrect to pop up.  Can someone help me?  Thanks

Hi Milagro,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing that you are running into a similar issue.

I'm curious if you have multiple attempts set for the question? If so, and you're getting the question 'wrong' and do not have a 'Try Again' layer, then it appears that you're clicking the Submit button more than once.

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

Hi, I have had the same issue with a couple of multiple choice interactions on a module that was built by a colleague (just meaning I was trouble shooting without having all the build background). 

There is a submit interaction trigger (matching the multiple choice interaction) yet when you select the incorrect response the incorrect feedback will not display unless you click the submit button again. There were two attempts built in. 

After fiddling around I managed to fix the bug by reducing the number of attempts to 1, then increasing to 2 again at which point a Try Again slide was generated. It seem the double click submit must be where a Try Again slide was supposed to appear. Maybe the Try Again slide had been deleted by the builder (as it is a binary choice it is not really necessary) but the Submit button is still expecting that interaction? 

Hope this helps someone, cheers Lotus

Actually, If you had set the attempts to three, you would have had to click Submit 3 times. The built-in action is that when an incorrect answer is submitted, the only action is to show the Try Again layer. Hence, if there is no Try Again layer, it appears that nothing has happened. The built-in Try Again layer has a button to click, and its only action is to hide the Try Again layer. So without the layer, nothing appears to happen until you exhaust the number of attempts. At that point, instead of showing the Try Again layer, submitting an incorrect answer causes the Incorrect layer (if there is one) to be shown.

I have a workaround for this... I handle the try again on a customized Incorrect layer (simply added a video on top of the incorrect slide) with option to retry or continue with on slide buttons). To avoid having users to double click when submitting, I right clicked on Try Again layer, Apply Format > Blank, and in the slide layers uncheck the Dim option. Then add a trigger to Show layer Incorrect When the timeline reaches tie 0m 0s. Works like a charm!

Karen,

It sounds like you have found a good design that works for you.

Just FYI, the Dim option only applies to the development phase, and not the published version. You can, however, hide individual objects on the base layer by setting their visibility on any specific layer.
