Thanks for the thorough description and example! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-value-of-number-field-calculation#post-60932 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:42:46 +0000 kinetic 60932@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is more info on this issue:</p> <p>I have 3 fields in a test form.</p> <p>The first field is a basic product pricing field. The second is a number field that captures the subtotal of the product field). The third takes the "subtotal" and multiplies it by 10% to get a tax number. The fourth adds the subtotal and tax together to get a grand total.</p> <p>The issue is that if you change the quantity of the product, the subtotal field captures the value fine. But the tax field does not get updated. However, if you change focus to the subtotal field and hit a key – ANY KEY – then the tax field updates. If you tab into the field, then the value changes, triggering the grand total number field change as well. It is like it is waiting on a keydown event to begin running calculations that then trigger all the other number fields.</p> <p>TL;DR - then number fields are only updating on a keydown value when you are focused on one of them, rather than onchange event. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-value-of-number-field-calculation#post-60566 Mon, 28 May 2012 18:23:13 +0000 kinetic 60566@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a few number fields that I am performing calculations on sequentially. Number 1, then number 1 x 10%, then number 1 X 10% + number 1, etc - basically calculating a tax and a service fee then adding it all together.</p> <p>When I try to insert a previous number field into a field for calculation using the "insert merge tags" drop down, it doesn't seem to be capturing the value. Do I need to use the :value attribute? </p> <p>{number1:value} instead of just {number1}?</p> <p>I am currently using very large calculations involving over 100 fields in some cases and it is causing the form submission to surpass the max_execution_time in PHP. </p>
