Updating calculations with default values
-
Hey, People of Calc Fields for ACF!
I have been doing a little bit of a work-around for Quiz with calculations. I want to calculate the score for the quiz automatically.
I have 10 True/False questions, then I have 10 fields that conditionally display if the question is equal to True, and has a default value of 1. So for each True response, a read-only field is displayed with a value of 1. Then the Results field simply adds all the fields together.
However, the Results field doesn’t add all the values and doesn’t gives me the sum UNLESS I undo the read-only attribute and physically update a number (any field), then the calculation fires. Even updating/saving the posts doesn’t fire the calculations.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @deterius,
This seem to be a bug with true/false fields, or a bug with readonly fields, or a combination of the two.
I’ve done some quick testing and I see that we have issues with true/false fields, they seem to always get the value “1” internally, regardless of actual state.
Can I ask you again to send and export of your current field definition? It was very helpful when trouble shooting the previous issue.
Thanks for the quick response,
Here it is:
