Captivate drag-and-drop: customize what happens on incorrect attempt

[ACIuser]

I want to know if it is possible to create a drag-and-drop interacttion so that, when a user submits an incorrect combination, only the incorrect dragged items are moved back to their original positions. All correctly dragged items must remain in their dropped positions.

Yes, that is a built in design, but do you realize that this means that the user will always end up with a correct answer? You have to configure the Object Actions dialog box, so that the targets only accept the correct drag sources instead of accepting all, the other drag sources will be returned to the original location.

I would like to do this in a different way. The drop region must "accept" any drag-source that a user drops there, even if it is incorrect. It is only when the user has done all his drag-and-dropping and wishes to click Submit that the entire slide must be evaluated and all the incorrect drag-sources must be reset to their initial positions, while the correct ones must remain where they had been dropped.

That is not possible with Captivate's D&D, sorry. Same for question slides: Retake a quiz will reset all answers, not only the incorrect answers.
