Getting the 'name of field' field does not exist, please re-enter when selecting the names of the field

Explorer ,
Sep 12, 2017 Sep 12, 2017

When I select the names of the fields I want to sum from the "Select Fields for Calculation" box, the first field listed always returns the message, "The 'name of field' field does not exist, please re-enter." I am unable to create a form field that calculates the total sum of my selected fields due to this message. It doesn't matter which field is selected first, the first field always returns the message. The form fields are definitely present. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can get the fields to sum?

Hi ANP,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As per the issue-description mentioned above, when selecting the names of the field, you are getting name of the field does not exist error, is that correct?

Please refer to the following links which discuss the similar workflow:
