Text Entry Fields Reset

Hi Rakesh,

I can confirm that within Storyline 360's flash output, spaces will still be accepted as a part of the correct answers. I can share that with our team to investigate as a possible bug, but in the meantime, I'd suggest using the HTML5 output. 

You're right, Rakesh. The extra space is accepted in the Flash output of Storyline 3 and Storyline 360, but not in the HTML5 output. 

Is there a reason you need to use the Flash output, or are you able to use the HTML5 output for your course?

I'll let our team know about this issue in Flash. Thanks for bringing this up!

Its client's requirement for publish setting (Flash/HTML5). In IE its creating problem.

Thanks for your support.

Thank you so much. Your solution resolved my issue.

Glad that you were able to find the information you needed as well, Marianne.

Thanks for popping in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Not sure if this is due to the latest update, but resetting text variables to (blank) upon timeline start (slide is also set to Reset to initial state) is not working anymore. It's keeping the previously entered text upon second visit to the page. Namely on graded Fill In the Blank pages.

Anyone else experiencing this? 

Hello there, Kirby!

I don't see any reported incidents about this, so I'd love to take a closer look. If you're able to share the file through this private upload link, I'll dig into the set-up to see what is happening in Update 39!

Hi Khusairi,

Thanks for sharing your files with us! We've escalated the case for one of our support engineers to take a look and do some testing.

As soon as they're done, they'll reach out with next steps!

Hi! I'm using Storyline 3 and been trying to do this.

I want to clear the input in the data entry field on Slide 1 by clicking a CLEAR button located on Slide 2.

What I did is to create a Trigger, then upon clicking the CLEAR button, it will set the value of the variable assigned to the data entry field to (blank).

Whenever I run the project, it does not do what it is supposed to do.

Here is what worked for me. Even though the slide is set to return to the initial state, the text field never returns to its initial blank state (but retains the user's text entry). In addition, when navigating backwards to the base layer, the text entry field is no longer editable. At least if the text were editable one could manually clear the field. I decided that it was not so critical for the text entry field to be blank as long as it was editable. My usual course of action when I want the user to navigate from a custom layer to the base layer, is to use the Hide Layer trigger on the custom layer. Well, we already know this trigger does not clear the text entry field on the base layer, even if reset to initial state is activated. What I tested (and it works) is that instead of using the Hide Layer trigger, I selected the Jump to this Slide trigger. I was hoping this action would clear the field, but at least the text entry field is editable (and the user can clear the field manually). The best part of this solution is that it does not require the use of any variables, so I'm happy. Hope this helps someone out there.
