Text input box not allowing multiple lines or use of return to create new line
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 76, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One enhancement we’ve included:
Data-entry fields wrap text to multiple lines based on the “wrap text” option rather than the height of the field. You no longer need to make the height more than 60 pixels.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Solved :)
When I put this question in, I saw a link to similar content (carriage returns without submitting interaction). This led me to finding out about the Essay question type under the survey questions.
I've not looked at the survey questions since I first started using Storyline, but it seems to give me just what I need.
The Essay question type in the Survey works great! Be sure to adjust the size of the test entry box to avoid the appearance of the scroll bar (unless you want the user to be able to scroll). Thanks, Andrew, for the tip!
And if you need a graded question, you can add correct and incorrect feedback and create triggers to score the response...with the understanding that text entry questions in e-Learning have always been problematic to score well. Most development software is not powerful or flexible enough (I've never found one that is entirely adequate...too much variability in how the user answers, and you'd have to enter a million different matching responses to account for them, and even then the user might enter something that can be missed). Fortunately, I didn't care about doing this for a knowledge check question, so I only provided a Thank You type response, with feedback like "If you answered xxx, you'd be right!"
