When using the matching knowledge check or quizzing feature, there appears to be a character limit on the match objects. Is there any way to increase this? I'm working with medical education and sometimes the descriptions in these are quite long.
I'm able to create what I need in Storyline, but it would be so much better to create a multiple activity lesson in Rise.
Hey, Derrick! Sorry that you're running into an issue here.
To ensure that Rise 360 matching knowledge checks look awesome on any device, choices and matches have a 90-character limit. If you have time to log a feature request and tell us more about your specific needs, that would be super helpful!
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
Hi There! ~ I noticed/counted the 90 character limit per matching question as I'm having the same challenge using this question type for French courses.
Yes, please extend the character limit for these questions! Like Derrick, I work with content that can be quite long, so it'd be nice to have either unlimited characters or scrolling text in these boxes.
Is there any other way to create a matching activity that does not involve Quizzmaker? That matching activity looks very outdated. The one in Rise has a modern and clean look but the character limit is a problem. I tried converting to a sorting activity but I had the same problem with character limits. Please give me ideas, thank you!
That's kind of you to offer to share it, Edith! You can click here to open the discussion, then click the Add Attachment button to attach the unpublished .story file to a new post.
It would also be great if you could use a graphic on at least one side and match it to text on the other side. I understand that you can do this in SL but it would be easier and less disruptive to the development workflow to have this function in Rise. Cheers Gerry
The storyline block cannot be the answer for everything - it defeats the purpose of Rise being mobile friendly and the SL blocks are not super mobile friendly. The character limits need to be increased.
Any update to this? I'm also working on medical training and finding issues with a few templates: matching drag and drop and scenario. The feature to extend characters would be a huge plus. Seems like this issue has been around for a long time though and it's not changed :( I could create them in Storyline but that defeats the purpose of using Rise.
Hi Learning Design! Thanks for following up! No news on this yet. If we make any changes to extend the character limits that help, we'll let you all know here in this thread.
Nearly 3 years after the original ask regarding this issue, I am adding my vote for extending the character limit for the sorting activity. Can the extended text simply be wrapped such as with the flashcard feature? Not being able to use this feature due to the character limitation is definitely a missed interactive exercise opportunity for learners.
Do we know where we are on this? In my opinion, this and allowing Mac users to download Storyline apps should be top priority. Even a graphic would work for this situation...it would cause more work, but at least I could create my text and save as an image. Most clients are going to give designers and developers more characters than 90. Please add this feature!

Thanks for your feedback, Andrew! We truly appreciate hearing how we can improve your experience in Rise 360. I'll pass this along to my team!
I am experiencing the same issue as well. I will submit a feature request.
Thanks, Angie!

Agreed, there should be an option to extend the character limit.
+1 for me for extending the character limit.
+ another! I do technical training and have long questions at times. Another option would be adding a question with a drop down menu!

Hi Edith! You can create your own customized matching activity using a Storyline 360 drag-and-drop slide. Then, embed it in Rise 360 using a Storyline Block!
I did, thank you! I'm not sure how to share it in case anyone would like to get a copy. It's not anything super fancy but it does the job. You will receive a message when the answer is correct. I want to give credit to the website that published this and has a step by step guide on how to do this. https://www.gaapdynamics.com/insights/blog/2019/06/18/create-a-freeform-matching-interaction-in-articulate-storyline-360/

+ another vote for this! I also work in Medical education and have long detailed options that exceed the character limit.
I can see how a character limit is necessary, but 90 characters is very "limiting". Add my vote to increasing this limit.

+1 for me to add images as a matching option in Rise
+1 for me to add images as a matching option as well as increase font max.

Just want to add my voice that extending the character limit would be a huge help! Can't even fit basic dictionary definitions for some things!
+1 for me too, the character limitation is really restricting and the option to have graphics is a great idea.
