manual reset drag and drop

Question

I have a drag and drop that uses Object Actions that change the state of the drop target if it's wrong and runs an advanced action if right. I also used "auto submit" so the learner doesn't have to guess when it's all correct.

Is there anyway to make the incorrect answers "return home" instead of staying on the incorrect target? Maybe an advanced action I can't find or some javascript I don't know about?

Also, when the learner returns to my slide, the drag and drop has NOT reset. I actually would like it to reset. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for your help.

Why do you not use the InBuilt states for D&D to show the incorrect/correct answers? Have a look at:

I'm not sure to understand the question about resetting. D&D slides can be used in two ways: without or with reporting a score. In the last case, when used as a scored question slide, the answers will not be reset to have a similar behavior to other question slides. If the D&D is not used as a question slide (no reporting) it is automatically reset when leaving that slide. This tip and more:

However, since you used object actions to change states of objects (instead of the InBuilt states), you'll have to take care of resetting the states, which shouldn't be an issue if you don't check the option 'Retain states...'. If you have other manipulations of objects with those actions, you'll need to create an On Enter action to reset everything.
