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.

    In my first answer I offered you the in-depth article about the InBuilt states for both drag sources and drop targets. That post also specifies when those states appear, under which circumstances. There is no event linked with 'removing a drag source' (I think drag target was a typo?), so you cannot use an action like is possible with Object actions for individual drags by the learner.


    Thank you again. That article was indeed the most comprehensive I had even seen on D&D states. The movie was very illustrative. Do you have the project file available for download? I'd love to have it as a reference, if possible.
