Variable name being displayed when user input deleted

I have a project that works over three slides

Slide 1: user text entry fields for their answers

Slide 2: provides audio feedback on the answer and suggest how to improve, giving another chance to amend previous answers in the text entry fields.

Slide 3: displays final answers as text fields referencing the variables

 

The problem?

Slide 2.

When a user clicks into any of the text entry fields, their previous answer is replaced with the variable name and before I added the 'set variable to (blank) when the user clicks..' trigger the field became unresponsive.

 

Naturally, I don't want the variable name to be visible at any point, and for the user to click into the field and just edit their answer.

 

Any suggestion on what I'm doing wrong?

Note: the 'automatic' default text didn't automatically disappear when the box was clicked so I got rid of that and created it manually with a show/hide text box when the user clicks the text entry field.

  • I am not sure if I fully understand the build.  I currently do not see any triggers that take the user to Slide 1.2 (Incorrect).  

    So the only way to get to that slide is through the menu. If you are wanting the values of the variables to go back to blank when  they return to slide 1.1 you will need trigger that.  The Initial Variable Value as blank is only effective for the first appearance.

      Hi Ron

      The trigger to move on is on the Submit button, which only appears when the last text entry field loses focus.

        I see that trigger, which goes to Slide 1.3.  I am not seeing anything that takes you to Slide 1.2.
