Not to be a nag, however, I would like to know what might be causing the "Invalid Answer" popup happening with a test I have developed with Storyline. The problem is that when a user selects an answer from one of the quiz questions, the Invalid Answer Popup appears upon a Submit action for no reason at all. This happens sporadically.
Hi Ettore and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! You mentioned that this happens sporadically and I'm not seeing it in the file that you shared.
I did notice that the second slide you shared, has the feedback set to 'By Question', which could cause this pop-up to occur when the wrong answer is selecting as opposed to just scoring it:
Thanks for the pointing this out. I will check all my slides and correct accordingly and test once again.
Hopefully I will no longer get a "Invalid Answer" popup when a user submits a question slide with a selected response. If happens again, I will send support the full story file.
Ettore, you may also want to check in the triggers panel to be sure you don't have a trigger erroneously set to submit the interaction when the timeline ends.
My triggers are not set to submit when the timeline ends.
One thing I have noticed is this: all the slide now work well when single clicking on the submit button, however, every time that I double click the submit button, I get an "Invalid Answer" popup. This happens on about 60% of the slides.
Is this a problem with the Storyline player?
I can post the entire quiz if necessary.
By the way, I have tried a demo articulate quiz and this happens on some slides as well:
8 years ago and it's still happening? Hmm. I need some help! If a user clicks anywhere on a freeform quiz slide, they get an Invalid Answer pop up. How do you fix this? Thank you!

Can you post a slide, this normally happens if something is not selected and you press submit
This happens when a user has made a selection and not otherwise.
I have attached some slides as requested.
Many thanks.

Many thanks for now.

Sounds great Ettore! Thanks for the update

NOTE: This happens on Question 2 ( the ranking question). I just rank one item and double click submit it fires off the "Invalid Answer" popup always.
Hi Ettore! Looks like Justin is assisting you with this question here.

Normally a build error, can you post the slide?
Hi Phil, I sent you a message! Many thanks!
