Drag and drop 'none' option not triggering correct response
Aug 10, 2013
Hi
I am having a problem with the 'none' drop target on one slide.
The difference between this and other similar drag and drop slides is this drag and drop has only 1 correct target (the other should remain empty when answered correctly.
I have 7 drag items, 2 of which should be placed in 1 target zone and nothing in the other 'box' to get the correct response. i.e. 5 drag items have 'none' set as their drop target.
The problem is that when the correct 2 are placed in the right box, you can place 1 or all the 'none' drop target items in the other 'wrong' box and it returns a 'correct' response.
It is as if it ignores the 'none' and is only registering the drag items which have an allocated drop zone other than 'none'
Can anyone help me solve this?
Many thanks!

How is the other box activated as a drop zone?
I think this is working as designed because you have the two in the correct place, I am unsure how you have another area as a dropzone without it being assigned in the quiz form.
Hi Phil
Thanks for your reply!
Here is a screenshot of how it is set up, I hope it helps.
I have several other similar ones working as expected, they all have at least one drag item per drop zone.
I am guessing the problem is one of the zones should remain empty - but am at a loss as to what changes to make to achieve this.
ah I see, you have it set to free so it just drops on the other target. You have not activated the other target
This is the expected behaviour for this type of question, all it is looking at is if the two objects have been dropped onto the target.
Mot sure how you can do this, I will have a think.
Hi Phil
Thanks!
The other similar questions work with (None) in some drag items i.e. they trigger correctly a 'Try again' answer if dropped in either target area, as they do not belong in either one.
In those questions, however both boxes (drop targets) have at least 1 drag item in when correct.
I guess this is the crunch factor, as in this question, the 2nd target should remain empty for the answer to be correct.
Thanks for taking the time to post and to think on how to achieve this
That is the problem here you only have one drop target
Thanks for your additional post Phil.
Is there another way to make this function as desired?
I would probably use a hidden question type that is validated using states when the user clicks submit
Hi Phil - thanks again!
I am quite new to SL and have not found anything in searching for hidden question types.
Do you know of any examples available which show how to do this?
Thanks
If I get time tomorrow I will build something
WOW! Thanks Phil - that would be great!!
My team is experiencing a similar issue.
If (None) is selected the drop target reads as correct if the user does not touch it; however, if the user changes their mind about the response and moves it back to its origin, it reads as incorrect.
We'd like to prevent this in the future, so any advice for a fix or a workaround would be greatly appreciated.
HI There,
I too am new to SL2 and am having the same or a similar problem. As designed, the question only has one drop target. The (None) designation does not yield a Correct response. Ever.
Did you ever get this to work for you? If so, how?
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thank you!
Hi Kellie
can you share you .story file - someone might be able to help if they can see your setup.
Here you go.
Thanks Wendy!
Hi Kellie
see if the attached works how you want it to.
There was an item 'all photos 1' that had been included but wasn't part of the interaction so I have hidden that object on the timeline.
Let me know if you need any more help
Hi Wendy,
It works perfectly as designed.
Do you believe the problems was the "all photos 1" item?
Thank you!
Hi Kelli
yes it was an object that was added in to the form view as one of the drag options but I couldn't find it on the stage so SL was expecting it to be one of the items to mark the interaction correct. Once I replaced it with 'all photos 2' object it worked as expected.
Good luck with your project!
Thanks so much Wendy!
Good luck to you too!
Where are you located?
