Can a Drag and Drop question have "Answer to continue feedback"?

Is there a way to make a Drag and Drop quiz question behave like the other question slides with "You must answer the question to continue" feedback if a user has made no attempt to move the drag objects? I am really driving myself crazy with advanced actions, variables, and adding a lot of click boxes over the top of the slide to trigger the feedback closing, but without control over the submit actions I am going crazy. I have contemplated moving the submit button off the stage and making my own, but I not sure I am accomplished enough to do that.

    Any help you can give me is so appreciated, I'm not in a time crunch situation yet, so I can hold off publishing a week or so!! I can understand your frustration! I do not know what a Fluid Box project is?


    I created a blog in the eLearning Community. It has to be approved.

    Done, here is the link: Make Drag&Drop behave like any question - eLearning

    I will copy/paste to my personal blog and post the link when ready, may include my published test file

    I have created several blog posts about Drag&Drop, one of them deals with a similar question posted a while ago: how o use the Failure caption to show 'You have to drag an object' instead of the normal failure message. Here is the link:

    Do NOT remove the Submit button, drag it outsiide of the state if you want. You can check AutoSubmit instead.

    A lot can be done with the Object Actions and/or the InBuilt stated of the D&D objects. I don't find it limiting at all. Of course  like in normal quiz slide, you only have the Success and Last Attempt actions (which is labeled incorrectly Failure), but those Object actions offer you a lot of power. You can look for more articles about D&D on my blog. Have also a look at the presentation about Shared Actios a  ouple of months ago, where I used Object actions as an example to show customized feedbacks using a multistate object.

    These articles have been helpful in showing the "You must answer..." but because I am required to have only one attempt, it is of course moving to the next question without giving the user an attempt to complete. Still the same problem with not being able to control the Submit button. I can move it off the stage, but then I don't know how to make my own button check the answers are correct. I do not need any feedback on each drag action, just Correct, Incorrect, and Answer so they look like the other test questions.

    If you have only one attempt, you cannot use the default events of the Dragé&Drop but you have to use the Object actions to populate the variable I was toaking about. You could add a conditional action to a custom button but the Submit button or the AutoSubmit is needed if you want to transfer the score to a LMS.  Is that the case?  I could figure out a workaround if you don't mind to have a custom Submit button and a custom Next button? Let me know....

    Drag&Drop is not a 'normal' question slide like those based on the quizzing master slides. It will not correctly show during review what the other quiz slides do. The Submit button is an embedded objects, like on the quiz slides. It is not behaving like other buttons where Success event means clicking on the button, and Failure event clicking outside of the button. You have only the Success aevent and the Last Attempt event to trigger an action.

    Removing the Submit button is exactly what you have to do. Then you create your own to do just what you want. If you give us more details, we might be able to help.

    I am trying to make the D&D a quiz question and behave just like the other questions with "you must answer" if nothing is done, Correct or Incorrect when answered and only one attempt. Also, I label my Correct and Incorrect on the other quiz questions as "click here to continue" so they think they are buttons and the slide doesn't auto proceed to the next question. This also seems to be an issue on the D&D interaction, so I had made my own buttons with Success and Failure to move to the next slide. I have since just started over though, based on the blog info from below. I get the correct message now, but with only one attempt, it is auto proceeding to the next slide and the user can't try to answer.

    Did you see my most recent reply? Do you have to transfer the score of the D&D to a LMS?
