Captivate 2019 Drag and Drop - Multi State Objects as Drop Targets

Greetings Everyone. I did not find the answer to my question in the discussion. Please assist, if possible.

My Drag and Drop project has eight multi state objects for drop targets. The Reset All radial buttons is selected. Hence, the drag objects return to their original position when an incorrect answer is submitted. However, the multi state objects drop targets retain their current state. ISSUE: How can I have Captivate reset all Drop targets to their Normal state when the drag objects return to their original position after Submit (with incorrect answer) is pressed?

Kind regards,

Sam Pearson

.There have been so many releases under the common name CP2019. Please give the full version number which can be found under Help, About Captivate.

You will probably need to create an advanced action as Failure action.

Thank you for the reply. My Captivate 2019 version is 11.5.5.553. I agree that an advanced action would solve my issue. Any assistance on how to start the advanced (conditional) action would be highly appreciated. Basically, IF the answer submitted is incorrect for the drag and drop, I want the drag objects to be reset (returned to original position) and the drop objects change state to "Normal." Otherwise, Continue.

Since you are on that very stable version (best ever for me, and I use Captivate since almost 2 decades) an easy way may be to use the Reset action explained in this tutorial:

Or if you prefer a step-by-step

A KC slide is automatically reset completely when you leave the slide and revisit it. This is what I explain in this tutorial. It doesn't matter if you provided multiple attempts or not.

If you have only 1 attempt (which is not the case, from what I understand) you can use the Failure action with the command 'Change State.... Normal'. But if you have more than 1 and less than Infinite attempts, that will not work because the so-called 'Failure' action is in reality a Last Attempt action.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to assist me. I really appreciate. I'll read the information on the links you provided.
