Why does the 'matching' knowledge check limit to 2 lines?

When I create a knowledge check matching type I find it really difficult to fit in the words I need to say in the space, because after so many characters it just crops and refuses to allow more text. Why? 

Here's an example where it crops important details from my distractors. 

If i go over to storyline and create a single slide activity and try to recreate the question and embed it as a storyline interaction instead, I have to battle with a whole other bizarre set of restrictions in the built-in drag and drop types - like you can't modify the height or font properties (well, you can but it won't show them). It too has the same bizarre height restriction but now to alleviate that problem it just makes the font illegible.

I don't see why Rise has the two line limitation. If I go into the developer tools in my browser and fiddle the elements to make them taller or add more text, the dragging interaction still works and everything wraps properly. I'm having to resort to recreating the interaction from Rise in plain old javascript and embedding them as an iframe (and then hosting that somewhere).

  • Hello everyone, 🎉

    I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360! This update adds the following feature:

    • Eliminated character limits for matching knowledge check block entries

     

    There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to publish your Rise 360 course again.

    Let me know if you have any questions about this update.

  • Pretty please with sugar on top? 

    While it is great that we have the option to lean on many other platforms/media in RISE to obtain what we want, this particular restriction is so limiting in your KC. 

  • I'd love for the character limits to be removed (or at least increased) as well! We ran into this issue during development this week and had to pivot during a pilot to using Storyline, but we would've preferred to stay with the Rise quiz creator. 

  • Hi Tim! Thanks for including those screenshots. 

    To ensure that Rise 360 matching knowledge checks look awesome on any device, choices and matches have a 90-character limit.

    We're tracking the need for additional characters, so I'll add your vote to that request.
