Unable to add Custom Number Variable to Short Survey Text Entry (Storyline 360)
I believe the issue is that you're trying to assign a text entry to a numeric variable value. Replace your text entry field with a numeric entry field and it likely will work.

Steve, thank you!! This is where I was going wrong! I replaced the Short Survey Answer slide with a How Many slide and can now see the variable.
Now I just need to test I can see the data reported on our LMS. I've noticed the 'How Many' survey question, doesn't automatically jump to the next slide when the trigger submits the interaction when timeline starts, whereas it does for the Short Survey questions. Not sure if this is intended but as long as it reports to the LMS I don't care.
I want to confirm Steve's answer was the solution I was looking for! I changed the Short Survey (Text Entry) Interaction to a How Many (Numeric Entry) Interaction and could display the numbered variables and report the data in our LMS.
For anyone interested here are the triggers I used.
Hi Lewis, I just found this thread after troubleshooting for a long time. I've been trying to pass a variable as a score using some JavaScript, and the design works in SCORMCloud but not in our LMS (D2L). So I started attempting the survey question/variable/results slide approach as an alternative.
Am I understanding correctly that sending the variable with the survey method logs the response but it is not a score? I just tested in our LMS and I can dig into the SCORM Report to see the variable was successfully reported to the logs. I assume that means we would most likely need to view those reports and manually enter the value for each user's grade?
Hi MichaelTrevis​!
I just replied to your other post, here!
