Calculation – calculation fields empty

    Hi – I am trying to use Calculations, but in the fields editor it doesn’t show any of the fields in Calculation Formula editor, just an empty dropdown box so unable to edit the formula. Is there some way to see why?

    I have moved the field to different places within the form, saved, started over, but no change.

    Ultimately I am looking to find a way to have a visibility on a section setup so can check if one checkbox is check, and also if either of two others are check to show one section or a different section to then half the form if no sufficient answers

    Thanks

    Hi @cliffo4

    I hope you’re well today!

    It’s difficult to say without checking the form itself but the first thing to make sure of would be to ensure that fields (those that you want to use in calculations) actually have calculations enabled.

    For example, if you have fields number-1, number-2 and number-3 on form and you want to use number-1 and number-2 in calculations, you need to edit both those fields and you’ll notice “calculations” tab there (between “settings” and “styles”). In that calculations tab you need to set option to “Enabled” and apply changes.

    The same applies to other types of fields (that can be used in calculations) but for some types – like checkbox, radio or select – you will additionally need to set values for options to be used in calculations. You’ll do that in the same “calculations” tab of particular field configuration.

    Please make sure that this is set and it should solve the issue.

    If it doesn’t, we’ll need to take a closer look at the form itself in which case, please export the form and share it with us.

    To do so:
    – go to the “Forminator -> Forms” page
    – click on a little “gear” icon next to form in question and select “Export” option
    – copy given code and put it on pastebin.com service, then share a link to it in your response here.

    Best regards,
    Adam

    Otherwise those fields will not be available in calculations formula editor.

    Hi Adam. Yes that fixed it totally didn’t see the calculation field in the fields.

    I missed the line in the documentation “any fields in your form that you enabled for calculations”, maybe some re-working of that to state that this field works in tandem with calculations settings in other field at the start of 4.3.11?

    It certainly fixed my problem, so many thanks for that.
