Object on Quiz Slide Missing in Advanced Actions

Sorry, I just posted a question a little bit ago But I came across another hiccup.

I want to add custom feedback for my quiz questions when in review mode. It is all only 1 feedback message, regardless of whether the user got the question right or wrong.

My plan was to "Show" the message on an "On Enter" event. But the object with the feedback does not show up in Advanced Actions. I tested with other objects on the slide, and none of them appear.

Is it because it's a question pool? A multiple choice slide?

I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

Thanks for your help!

    I am worried, fear some corruption, hence my question about the names. The only times I had problems like this was when a name was used more than once for different objects, actions, variables, decisions.


    I figured out the problem was because the slide was in a question pool. I copy/pasted it into the main timeline and the smartshape appears in the advanced actions dropdown as intended.

    The client requested a randomized assortment of questions out of 10, so this is not entirely ideal, but maybe I can argue with them.

    I wonder if this should be labeled as a bug report?

    Not sure I understand well. Most objects on a quiz slide are embedded, have no individual timeline, no name.

    With actions you can only control non-embedded objects. If you want to show a custom feedback, you need to create it.

    Thanks Lilybiri,

    The "q1feedback" in the screenshot is a smartshape with text that I added on top of the typical quiz slide. It's set to not be visible. But the shape doesn't appear in the advanced actions panel dropdown (nor the shared actions dropdown, when I tried that), even though it was created by me.

    You cannot have any custom object on top of quiz objects. Where is that shape?

    It is strange that it doesn't show up: are you sure not to have used the same name several times?
