Text Entry Wildcard/Lose Focus workaround
Hi, Ross, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨
When using the trigger "Set textentry equal to the typed value when Text Entry loses focus", it means the variable textentry will be set with the text entered by the user only when something happens outside of that text entry field.
For example, if I type "123", my variable textentry is still blank. It will only be set as "123" once I click somewhere on the screen, press the Enter key, press Tab, etc., any action that takes my keyboard's focus away from the entry field.
Take a look at the example below, where the value of the variable (the entered text) is displayed, but it only changes when one of the described actions happen:

Let me know if this answers your question!

Well, that makes perfect sense. I just couldn't intuitively grasp that term.
Thank you.
