Custom image button resets itself

Hello,

I have a project with about 50 slides and use a custom image button to enable the learners to jump to the glossary slide at the end.

Unfortunately sometimes the action of all the buttons gets reset to "continue" instead of "jump to slide ___".

What could be the reason?

I did not delete the slide with the glossary. I did upload XML definitions to the glossary widget. I also started adding quiz slides at the end.
Is there any know casue/effect that resets button actions?

Thanks for any clues as refiguring them all takes 10 minutes each...

    I cannot explain why the action is changing when you copy/paste but have a tip for you.

    Why do you complicate this by having individual buttons  on each slide instead of one shape button that you can put on the master slide or on the first slide and time for the rest of the project? You can convert each image to a shape button:

    Thanks a lot.

    I did go thos route this for other buttons ("show rest of project) but I was under the impression that this button could not be used liked that/ I wasn´t offered the option in "properties".

    I will try again to do that though as it makes it much easier.

    Show rest of project is not in Properties but in Timing Properties panel, at least if you use CP8 or CP9.
