Fields missing in "Set Field Calculation Order" tab

I have created a PDF form with many calculated fields, and the order in which the fields perform their calculations is very important to the accuracy of the form. However, when I went into the "Set Field Calculation Order" tool, more than half of my fields were missing from the list, and now most of my form is unresponsive and not completing the calculations. Is there some setting I don't know about that I need to activate to see the fields on that list? Any help is appreciated!

The form has probably been corrupted somehow. I would start with a fresh PDF and copy the fields and code from the old to the new.

Have you opened the Acrobat JavaScript console to see if there are any error messages?

As noted it is also possible to create functions or perform multiple calculations with a single calculation for a single field.

Did you create this form or are using a form someoneelse created?

Did you apply a calculation script or formula to the fields directly, or are you using a script in one of them to apply the values for the rest?

Each of the fields has a different custom calculation that I set in the field Properties for each. Some of the calculations rely on values in other fields though.
