Custom Calculation isn't repopulating after field is changed

I have tried looking thru all the discussions and I just have not found the right answer to my question.

Right now I have "hidden" text boxes that have custom calculations in order to simplify the other calculations. Then I have those text box engineering calculations also auto fill into a diagram I have on the same page. However I am having a hard time having the diagram populate with the correct numbers unless I create a fake "check box". Then it will trigger a change in the numbers. Same issue comes into play when we decide to change numbers in any of the text boxes without clearing the form completely.

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2019 and I have not found the "set custom calculation order".

This sounds like a field calculation order problem. You say you can't find this command. Where did you look?

It should be under the More button in Prepare Form mode.

Thank you everyone, I looked high and low for the "More" button all day yesterday. Now it works exactly how I need it to!!

While I normally only deal with UI's for Adobe apps, can you use an onChange() or onChanging() function, attached to whatever text box you want, to trigger the form to update?

There's no such thing in Acrobat.
