Text Entry - Freeform Pick One - trouble with complex triggers
This is quite complex and trickier to set up than you'd think, but it is possible.
For an ELH Challenge demo I created this text input interaction that has more than one possible answer - in this case British English or American English spelling.

I've highlighted some of the pitfalls I encountered and workarounds I came up with in the above blog. It's not quite the same as what you're seeking to do here, but follows some of the same logic.
Would be happy to discuss this in more detail with you directly.
This demo is perhaps closer to your concept and also uses a series of text entry boxes to answer a math question
You can also download the master file here:
TL;DR progress through the text entry sequence is dependant on a correct entry in the previous text entry field, and the quiz slide only tracks the final text entry in the sequence.
I've also found using a lot of and/or conditions in one trigger can become hard to implement and debug. As with all things Storyline, the order of your triggers/conditions can drastically change how that function behaves. Sometimes splitting a complex trigger into two or three less complex triggers can solve your problem.
Would need to see your full design to comment more specifically, but that may be worth exploring.
Read your post - makes so much sense. Thanks for being will to connect to explain further. Looking forward to the conversation!
