Is it possible it's not working because I'm trying to link two separate conversations (with separate IDs) with a single variable? It should still work, right?
If I have the first dialogue trigger set to On Start, what would I set the second trigger to if I'm linking conversations? On conversation end?

Which approach are you using? (#1 or #2 from my previous reply.)

I'm using method #1.
Here's screenshots of what I'm trying to do, I hope you don't mind. I know I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what.

I have a dialogue entry that is supposed to connect to branch 2 in a different scene when the player talks to an NPC.

Now this is the next dialogue entry that I would like to link to the above entry with the variable set to true, but in a different conversation and a different scene.
- 2.png (64.41 KiB) Viewed 474 times
The dialogue system trigger for the first scene.
- 4.png (48.35 KiB) Viewed 474 times
The first dialogue system trigger in the second scene.
- 5.png (47.29 KiB) Viewed 474 times
The second dialogue system trigger in the same second scene that I would like to activate the new conversation if the variable is set to true.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

It's quite a bit simpler than all of that. Try these steps:
1. Define a single variable to specify whether Convo1_Branch1 or Convo1_Branch2 should play:
- convBranch0.png (15.64 KiB) Viewed 472 times
2. In Convo1_Branch1, set the variable true:
- convBranch3.png (2.13 KiB) Viewed 472 times
3. Configure the Convo1_Branch1 trigger to fire if the variable is false:
- convBranch1.png (39.3 KiB) Viewed 472 times
4. Configure the Convo1_Branch2 trigger to fire if the variable is true:
