Calculation Documentation

    Is there not any documentation for how to use Calculation? I have one field in my form where the user enters a number. Then there are a few product fields where I want that number to be multiplied by the price to automatically generate the price for that item. So if they enter 2 up above, then the product will calculate the price 2 x $35 and charge then $70. (This is for a conference registration, and the number they enter changes the options for several different things, and I don't want to have to keep asking them for that same number over and over.) I thought I could do it with a calculation, but it doesn't seem to be working, and I can't find any documentation.

  2. You can read about how the calculations work, here:
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/gravity-forms-v1-6-4-beta-1-released/

    Basically, your formula will be your merge tag * 35. Can you show us what you have entered for your calculation right now? A screenshot or an exact copy/paste here would be fine.

    Thanks for that link! It is working now. Gravity Forms seems a little buggy since the last upgrade. I get stuck where I can't edit anything, have to update form, leave, come back and try again. Sometimes I have to entirely create a new field and start over when I can't edit one. Anyway, I now have the calculation fields working, thanks!

  4. The bugginess you are experiencing is not typical. It's possible you are running into a problem with server resources or you have cached JavaScript creating trouble for you. If you'd like help troubleshooting this issue, please being a new topic. Thank you.
