THANKS FOR ANY HELP! 🙂

5 text choices (choice\_1 → choice\_5)  
5 text field targets (box\_1 → box\_5)

FUNCTION:

1. Drag the choices to the targets.
2. When dropped they display in target fields.
3. Then snap back.

I thought I had it but no cigar … must be close though.

Everything functions properly EXCEPT when I drag a choice and drop it all five choices go to choice\_5 (XY) instead of their own origin.

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?
