I used javscript to get the name from the LMS to put inside the elearning project. When I publish directly from captivate to captivate prime it doesn't work. If I export a SCORM and upload to captivate prime it does. Is there a way to do this with the direct publish from captivate?

Agreed with Lieve - that's how it works generally. I don't know enough about CP Prime either to say for sure... What JS are you using? Likely it pulls a SCORM-specific variable, which is filled via a SCORM call. To do it without SCORM, you should ask in the CP Prime group and see if there's any alternative API or general value that Prime exposes for a similar JS call.

Hmm, I don't have Prime, cannot answer for that part. However the user variable cpQuizInfoStudentName which is created automatically in each project, is meant to recover that value from the LMS. Since communication with the LSM is managed by SCORM, your experience seems somwhat logical.
