Repeating Variables in Quiz Questions

I have created a quiz and some of the questions are text entry. Because the formatting of the quiz slides is cumbersome, I've copied and pasted the original text entry slide then updated it as needed for additional questions. However, I think this is causing a problem with the variables, because all those quiz slides have a trigger that says "Set TextEntry 11 equal to the typed value..." If that variable has to be different for each question, how do I accomplish that?

    You'll have to create a new variable, for example, "Set TextEntry 12". Then you'll need to go into all of your triggers for that question and make sure any callouts to "Set TextEntry 11 are updated to "Set TextEntry 12. 

    I like to keep the input text boxes and the Variable names similar to reduce the possibility of errors. 

    If you were to manually add each fill-in-the-blank question one at a time, you'll see that the variables to update

    I attached an example, for ya.
