Help!

I want to  do the equivalent of a Visited state , but on a quiz button , and a submit button. I cannot add an object state – the + is greyed out – but i want people to see that they have clicked submit, before moving on… is this possible 

Is there any other way I can make it so that when they enter text they know its submitted? (I need this because the info they input will appear elsewhere in project)

Sorry, but Quiz buttons are very different from normal buttons. They are embedded in the quiz slide, they don’t have a separate timeline, they have functionality built in and you have to be very careful manipulating those buttons.
However your screenshot is showing a Text Entry Box, not a quiz slide. That Submit button is bit similar to the buttons on quiz slides, you do not have an individual timeline for that button, it is part of the TEB. It is even very common to see the button removed and replaced by a shortcut key.. If you need that TEB only to have the associated variable filled with a value, there is even no need to submit the entry. The variable will always be filled once the learner starts typing. Submitting is necessary if you validate the Text Entry Box. Is that the case?
If you want to check if the variable is empty, that is another use case. I have refurbished an article which I published long time ago in this recent one:

You could assign the variable created for your text entry box with a value of zero. Then use an advanced action to show a smart shape with text saying “Thank you for your submission.” if the variable does not equal zero. Otherwise have it hide that shape. I hope that helps!
