Does anyone know if there is a plan to modify the 150 character limit in Scenarios in Rise? Or...I have to ask, does anyone know a way around it?
Using Scenarios is wonderful but 150 character max extremely limiting since scenarios are ideal for things like knowledge checks and scenario role plays.
This is really limiting my use of what could otherwise be a great tool.
+1. Just ran into this issue when converting a course to Spanish. Please add more flexibility for us whether it is extending the character limit or let us adjust the font size. In the meantime, at least add a warning if the character limit is exceeded. I thought I had an issue with my copy & paste because there was no message telling me my text was too long. Thanks!
the character limitations for scenarios, matching and sorting is deadstopping my training development. There aren't even options to use images instead which would give me a work around. Please fix this! (I don't need the canned response your giving everyone... I know you will let people know if you decide to change it. Just hoping you do)
+1 this feature looks great but because of the character limit and that translations usually need even more characters for the same content, it is a feature my clients and I will never use.
My team and I translate between 6 to 20 RISE courses a month into a dozen or more languages. This is a constant battle for us; telling linguists to write shorter. But when the source English takes up the whole space, some languages are nearly impossible to do in that space.
Also, the flip cards + German is a nightmare. A small amount of font size control there (small, medium, normal) would go a LONG way. Or maybe the cards could be set to be larger if not the text.
Hi Matt! Thanks for letting us know the impact of this feature on your team. We're still tracking requests for this, as well as for more formatting options for Flashcard interactions. We'll let you know if we make any updates to these features that will help!
May be add the option of inserting an audio files and letting learner choose the one they like. In this case you can also keep text the same but use different emotions:)
This remains an incredibly frustrating issue for us as well. At the end of the day, having the course look pretty on a mobile device doesn't matter if the course itself is incapable of conveying the lessons we need our learners to absorb!
I'm adding my voice to this too. I can't get all the details I need into a scenario even with a bit of creative editing. Surely multiple speech bubbles (with the page being scrollable) would keep the scenarios looking good but allow for more information to be shared?
I've run into this issue as well and have been playing around with different options for creating scenario interactions in Rise while the Articulate team work on this feature.
+4. Very frustrating when trying to write questions for fill the blanks / matching questions. The limit with characters makes this feature unusable for longer questions within the Rise module.
Would appreciate when a fix / update is available please.
I see this conversation was held two years ago but still nothing has changed. The limited characters means the scenario option is usually unusable for me, which is a real shame. I encourage the designers to give some time to this please
Hi! i vote aswell to remove the character limit on scenarios (or at least make it longer).
Maybe for english-speakers this works (reading the comments i think it not), but for spanish, this limitation is a pain. Specially when we are working with technical material, which is difficult to modify or short.
I think the multi-device issue could be solved by adding scroll bar into the bubbles.
I think scenarios are a great tool, almost useless for this limitation.

Thanks, Drew. I've added the impact with translations to our tracker for this request. We'll update you here if we make a change that will help.

Would be very helpful... character limit is really frustrating!
+1 for increasing the character limits in scenarios.

I add my voice to the request for a much larger text limit on SCENARIOS. Even better, allow audio as the medium.
As it stands, the interaction is of little use to me.

I completely agree.

+1 on this. The scenario block is really great but this limitation is very frustrating.
I've run into this issue as well and have been playing around with different options for creating scenario interactions in Rise while the Articulate team work on this feature.
You can see the different scenarios I made here:
Using button stacks - https://www.brightcarbon.com/assets/AuthenticAssessmentsRise02/
Using the quiz lesson type - https://www.brightcarbon.com/assets/AuthenticAssessmentsRise03/#/
I have written a post about it over on the BrightCarbon blog with all the steps as well! https://www.brightcarbon.com/blog/authentic-assessments-articulate-rise/
Very cool examples, Sandy! Thanks so much for sharing those with us! 😄
Hello! I also vote for increasing the character limit in Rise Scenarios. I see this topic has raised already 2 years ago. Is there any update?
Aaaand still nothing changed. Quite frustrating.
great ideas - thank you :)

Still tracking requests??? EVERYBODY NEEDS THIS!

The scenario is a great tool but restricted by the text limits. Are there any plans to remove them?

Still the same problem, three years later
