Hello,

i have a form with two radio-choice-options and two text fields.

Radio1: Name: uType   Option: uTypeOne Preselected

Radio2: Name: uType   Option: uTypeTwo

Text1: Name: qBase    Value = custom:

if (this.getField("uType").value == "uTypeOne") {
this.getField("qBase").value = 1;
} else { 
if (this.getField("uType").value == "uTypeTwo") {
this.getField("qBase").value = 0;
 }}

Text2: Name: tBase   Value = custom

this.getField("tBase").value = this.getField("qBase").value*40;

 

When i click the Option2 the Text1 changes to "0" but Text2 stay on 40.
When i check the Option1 again, Text1 changes back to "1" but THEN Text2 changes to 0.

Then Text2 works fine but opposite of the options. Option1 is then 0 and Option2 is 40.

 

Looks like Text2 is just able to get the last value instead of the current, how can i fix that?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Change the field calculation order. 


By @Bernd Alheit

 

And what we should do when the fields are not calculating fields, but input text fields?
I mean, they don´t show up when i open the calculating order menu.

You can only change the order of fields with calculations.

The order is only important for fields with calculations.

I am having an issue.
I have setted up some javascripting for my form.

One of them populate a textfield2 from a dropdown1, and the dropdown1 have a document javascript setting with the data it should fill the textfield2.
I order to input the correct data, the script must get information from textfield3 (another field) to calculate the correct number.
The issue: if i change the input in textfield3, it won´t update the previous calculation.
Can you help manage that?

I was trying to populate a calculation made by a dropdown javascript input, but I did a workaround it and made it send the data to a hidden field, than I scripted the calculating in the final field, with calculation, and it worked.
I have another question...
is that possible to make javascript understant the * (all) symbol?
For example: I have several entries that I use as data. For several of them, there are the same prefix.

Doc (int)

Resume (int)

Hospital (con)

Health (con)

They are all option of the dropdown menu, is that possible to assign the value of a field to all option that has (int), for example, without type them all in the data info?
