I have noticed not only with my Storyline quizzes but with an example of an Articulate Quizmaker quiz that when you click on the submit button twice and have and answered the question that at times you will get the "Invalid Answer")
If I double-click the Submit button on any slide within the example you provided, the first click immediately submits the current slide, and the second click attempts to submit the next slide (which has not yet been answered). An "Invalid Answer" prompt is expected behavior under these circumstances.
If you're concerned that many of your learners won't recognize that the Submit button should be single-clicked, you could Provide Question Feedback in order to slow the progression to the next slide.
Please let us know if you need anything else, and have a great day!
There is no trigger that would change the Counter variable when checkbox 3 and 4 are selected. Since the counter doesn't change with these selections, none of the radio buttons is set to selected. And since none of the radio buttons is selected, you'll get the invalid answer feedback when the question is submitted.
That trigger wouldn't work, because the default (initial) value of the counter variable is already 0. Therefore the variable will not change (and set a checkmark). I would set the default value of the variable to something like -1.

Good Morning, Ettore.

Where do I do this in Storyline?
Many thanks.
My apologies, Ettore.

Hello Heroes!
It may be staring me straight in the face but can someone explain the following:
When I open the attached scene and indicate Check Box 3 & 4 as my answer, I immediately get an 'Invalid Answer' error message. This is my issue.
When I subsequently vary my response and indicate 3 & 4 again, it correctly returns the 'Incorrect' feedback and the score of '0'.
Bewildering... but someone out there knows the answer!

Hi Michael
Thank you for your reply to my query.
I have included this trigger but it isn't having the desired effect. Does the problem lie therein?
That trigger wouldn't work, because the default (initial) value of the counter variable is already 0. Therefore the variable will not change (and set a checkmark). I would set the default value of the variable to something like -1.
Bingo!
Thanks, Michael. As Inspector Clouseau used to say 'problem solv-ed'!
And yet again...what a swift response! Superb support.
lol...brill.
