Can I add a conditional and a non-conditional action together in one Advanced Action to ensure one thing is always done without having to make it happen in each condition?
With the new conditional tab option in 2017/2019 Adobe Captivate am I able to have both a standard AND a conditional action together in one advanced action? For instance. If when a user clicks a button I want a variable to be changed every time, but if another variable is marked as 1 I want to do an additional action without having to set the action I want done every time in each possible condition. Just wondering if its possible.
Michael, I’ve seen you offering assistance in the Discussion section frequently. It’s really encouraging to see a new face answering questions. Some days it feels like Lieve Weymeis and I are the only ones (more her than me). Please stay engaged. The Adobe eLearning community needs more fellow Captivate users to help other Captivate users out.
Thank you both for chiming in. I always thought that you could have an either/or (I started with Captivate 5) and I never fully understood the combining of the panels. I think it makes sense now and I am going to have to start playing with this as it adds powerful complexity to actions! Thank you.
It has always been possible to combine standard and conditional actions, but since the refurbished Advanced Actions dialog box it has become much easier. Maybe have a look at a full exploration of that dialog box in this blog:

Explore my blog for multiple examples since Captivate 6 of combining standard and conditional actions. The new While conditional decision type was added with CP2017.
