Variable in Slide Master layout changes on it's own
I have a variable isQuizQuestion that has False as it's default value. I have a text field that has %isQuizQuestion% on a slide master layout. When viewing this text field in Slide Master view or the normal slide editing view, it shows as False. If I preview the slide it shows as true. Why is that? And what can I do about it? I need slide master layouts to reliably set that variable to true or false. Even if I have a trigger on the slide layout to set the variable to False on timeline start, it still shows as True. In fact, I don't have any trigger even setting it to True in the first place. I do find it interesting that it is "true" as opposed to "True" which is usually how booleans are displayed.

The variable count is listed as 13 for that Variable so there could be some triggers on the master that are changing it's value.
Thank you for responding. As I said in my initial post there is nothing setting the variable to True. Sure there are 19 spots where the variable exists, like in the text fields that are displaying that variable. That's normal. The Master slide has 4 hotspots that show layers.
Is this a project you can share?
