[Xerte] How to handle wrong text entries

[Patrick Lockley]

Maybe change how it works – don’t evaluate the answers until you have to, then check the answers?

I can do that, if there is no other solution. But making the TextField static would already be an (unwanted) feedback.

I can do that, but I have to reset this property, if the user changes his mind and thus changes the content of the gap. How can I detect this?

I think the xwd side of things is OK (so I can set the property to disable the feedback and can get the value in Xerte).
