Am I to understand you are only allowed 1 map in the foundry? I can't seem to find a way to do the following.
(1 works fine)
1.) Got to NW City Gate, transport to custom forest map.
Now this is whats requested. Can't find a way to do it.
2.) Walk to cave entrance and enter custom cave map (different map than forest map)
3.) Find entrance to cave level 2 (transfer to another custom cave map)
4.) Upon completion transfer back to original forest map. Collect reward.
Cheers

The only thing on there that I don't think is possible is step 4. You would need to create a duplicate of the forest map as custom maps can only be used once in a Foundry quest.
I'm having a problem on how you switch maps. going from one map to another

On the left side of the Story Quest screen, there will be buttons for "+ Map". Just select one of those and it will give you a dropdown to choose from any of the maps currently in your quest, the Neverwinter Adventure Zone Map, to add a new custom map. Then you'll just need to choose the transition object from the previous map.
Hopefully that makes sense

If that objective is on a different map, then the Foundry asks you how the player is to get there (i.e what object does the player click on)
There are two main things that effect 90% of what you will want to accomplish. Once you understand the two main principles, the rest comes pretty easy
First once you realize that the Story board dictates the flow of the entire quest things fall into place. Map changes being the biggest.
Second, every "change" that happens in a quest is based on a simple mechanic of can the player see it or not. There is no scripting, just the clever hiding and disappearing of objects. It is up to the Author to find creative ways to make these object appear and disappear. Each object can only disappear once and appear once. So it might take several objects set to appear and disappear at different triggers to achieve the desired effect.
Watch the above video for more details.
Well, I watched your video, got to do what it did in the video but will be unable to publish because of the cautions on the transitions maps even though I chose 'False' and "Leave From" an object on the map. It insist I have to state a location the Overland map. These cautions are also left unaddressed in the video.
Cheers
