I'm looking for help with a script which allows a calculation field to be overwritten with manual text.....anybody?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙂

It's possible, but complicated. There are examples and explanations here.

Calculating field values and more

The article labeled "Writing Calculations" includes sections named "Blocking Calculations" and "Overriding Caculations". the key is the "event.rc" property, which when set to false, blocks the calculation.
