Hi experts, i was working on this form and ran into issues i cannot figure out whats wrong, and i would like another opinion on it, is there a way to minimize the lag when spawning pages?, i have tried the validate tab, but it doesn't seem to make a noticible difference. Also on P2 my document function doCal(); works on all other pages but gives an error on P2, and i dont see any errors.

I attached the PDF below

thanks

If the lag is do to calculations, then you can disable calcalculations before spawning and then reanable them afterward.

For example,

this.calculate = false;

this.getTemplates(...).spawn(...);

this.calculate = true;

Check the console. You have errors in the document level script with fields that don't exist.
