Advanced action issue

I'm starting to see AA's as potential minefields, I have an advanced action as follows

When I trigger the AA nothing happens. So I remove the assign action. When I click the trigger again it works as intended the button appears. So I believe the problem lies with the assign action. I am using only 4 user variables in the project as follows.

they seem quite unique so I don't see any naming issues. I have 3 other slides that with similar AA's that work as intended

I had this same issue a few weeks ago and I had to not use certain slides (not a good solution)

I really can't understand why a trigger will do nothing when I try to assign a value to a variable. the consensus the first time on the forum was that it was a naming issue. I'm not seeing it. see below for timeline screenshot for good measure.

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    Why do you dual double quotes, that was also th eproblem last time. I enlarged the image this time, to be able to see them clearly.

    For the literal just typ e in the two words Caesar Salad without any quots. Captivate will add one set of double qyuotes to indicate that the words are ons string.

    For some reason I thought quotes were mandatory. I will get rid of them and see what happens

    If I was going to assign a string to a variable using JavaScript - I would need the quotes.

    When using advanced actions all that kind of stuff is taken care of for you.
