Question

Shown/Hidden field no longer calculates when triggered by a radio button

I have a simple subtraction calculation (A-B=C) that worked fine until I designated these fields as either shown/hidden based on the response to a radio button. If radio button 1 is clicked, the fields for A, B, and C are "shown". If any of the other radio buttons (button 2 or button 3) are clicked, A, B, and C are hidden. Once I added this script, the C field no longer calculates. Can anyone help?

There's no reason for the visibility of the fields to affect the calculation, so there is something else going on.  Have you ensured the calculation (script) is still there? Are A and B calculated values, or are they user entered? Has anything else changed on the form?

A is user-entered, b is calculated based on the answer to A. I grouped the 3 fields with the same prefix "T1." so that when the first radio button is selected, these fields are shown. the calculation for B works.
