Drag and Drop with Auto-Submit - Success Action Not Working

I'm setting up a Drag and Drop in Captivate 2019 that should behave as follows:

1. User clicks sources to drop targets - incorrect placements snap back automatically; correct placements drop in place.

2. Once the user finally places the last source on the last drop target, a success message is displayed and the user can click anywhere to move forward.

So far I have the drop targets rejecting incorrect submissions and accepting correct ones. However, when the final source is placed, nothing happens and you don't go to the next slide.

Here are the settings for the D&D exercise:

1. On success: Go to the next slide

2. On failure: no action

3. No. of attempts: 1

4. Success caption: selected

5. Auto-submit correct answers: selected

6. On the object actions menu, each drop target is set to allow one Drag Source Type

  • Accept All: Unchecked
  • Count: 1
  • On accept: Go back
  • Action for each source type: no action

Do you think I have just have some setting that's off? Thank you in advance!

Description sounds correct. What did you do with the Submit button?

Thanks. I removed the submit button from the stage. My thinking is that the final placement of the course source on the correct target should trigger the success caption and action, but it just does nothing. :-(

You didn't delete it, that is fine.

Normal behavior would be that on Success the Success message would appear for the time it has been designed with (default is 3 seconds) and then the action On Success would be executed.  You may unaware of the fact that the D&D slide is paused at 1.5seconds. Did you by any chance edit the slide duration? Can you show a screenshot of the Timeline and of the Correct Answers dialog for D&D?
