I have a question with Correct/Incorrect/Try again options. Someone on the Forum was kind enough to help out with IF, THEN, ELSE logic for try again. When you get Try Again and return to layer with NEB, what you typed in remains. I can set the NEB variable to 0 (Zero), but then learner has to delete the value before typing another response. Is there a way to clear out the original answer so the Numeric Entry Box is completely empty?

For me it does not work. The field now states "NaN" (not a number).

hi guys, i've a solution. For contextualize: My project is a little game, that in a determinated point the user need to write answers inside a numeric field. If the user writes the wrong answer, he goes to another point in the project that have tips and other exercises for him. After all of this, he comes back to the first quiz to try again, when he comes back the numeric entry fields continued with the wrong answers he had written, if i change the answer to 0, all of the fields stays with the 0, but my objective is when he comes back the fields resets, and stays blank, so... i made this: 1º - Create the numeric entry field in the slide2º - Now create a text field custom variable 3º - Change the numeric entry field variable, in the triggers screen, for the new text field variable. (This makes your numeric field with the numeric configuration, receiving only numbers, not text, but the values are sign to a text variable)4º - Now, create a buttom, that had a trigger to Adjust the new text variable value to 'blank' when he was clicked.DONE.Your numeric entry field receives only numbers, and you can make him reset to blank.Hope helps,Below i attached a little test for you know how works.Any question, just call me in my instagram: _up.level

Hi Laurie I have a solution for you. On a slide before the one where your numeric entry is situated (could be the start page), you put an "execute javascript" trigger. The code you enter is as follows: var player = GetPlayer();//Establish an empty javascript variablevar empty = "";//Set your Storyline Numeric variables equal to the empty js variableplayer.SetVar("YOUR_NUMERIC_VARIABLE_NAME_1", empty);player.SetVar("YOUR_NUMERIC_VARIABLE_NAME_2", empty);player.SetVar("YOUR_NUMERIC_VARIABLE_NAME_3", empty);player.SetVar("YOUR_NUMERIC_VARIABLE_NAME_...", empty); And so on... This will set the variables to empty, even though storyline can't do it automatically. You will need to make a "player.SetVar(...."-line for each numeric variable you want to set to empty. Hope this helps everyone...

Hi there, everyone. I wanted to update you that I've documented the issue that when you rename a numeric variable, the entry field and the variable reference display a 0 instead of the default blank. I'm going to have a look at this issue with our team so we can see what needs to be done! I'll keep this discussion updated.

For all of you asking about this issue in Storyline 3, I have good news! We just released Update 7 for Storyline 3! (Build 3.7.20003.0) 🎉 In previous versions of Storyline 3, numeric-entry fields displayed default values of zero after renaming their underlying variables. In this update, you'll find that the numeric- entry fields will remain blank until learners enter values. Head over here to see the rest of the fixes included in update 7! The next step is to update Storyline 3!

Sorry to hear that workaround didn't work on your end, and we'll keep you posted here in regards to any changes with the behavior of the set up once we hear from our QA team.

  I'm using 360 and having the same problem (some numerical entry fields have the default zero and others don't). Are there any plans to fix this issue?

Hi JC,

Are you using a particular quiz slide, or are you inserting a numeric entry field on a content slide? Is this the file in which you were seeing that problem?

The biggest issue for me is that the 0 does not go away when you enter a number. My slide has a phone and you enter the number you are trying to call. The 0 is there and when you want to put in a number, it does not disappear. So if I needed to enter 44596, it would display as 044596. I checked out the previous fixes and I can see the blank numeric entry, but if there is a script that was used to achieve that, it is not visible. Also, they are older than Storyline 2.

Hello Michele!

Check out this numeric entry field sample I created in Storyline 2. As you can see, the field does not display a 0 when the timeline starts.

It sounds like your numeric entry field is behaving differently, though. Would you mind sharing the slide with me?
