Brendan,
Is instant calculation gone? Before after a link to another form all calculation are made instantly. Now I have to click the calculation button.
And if I or my associate forget this the wrong bill is sent to the costumers.
Also, it’s very time consuming if I have to calculate a single record and the whole form of 2000 records with a dozen calculations in it has to recalculate to get the results of one.
Hmm… it seems to be broken on the custom layouts, but it works fine on the Default Layout.
I’m going to have to dig into that to find out why.
It’s too bad you didn’t notice during beta testing ;)
Actually I did some more testing and it is working on a custom layout too.
The problem I had initially was the calculations were requiring input on a field that wasn’t on my custom layout, so the calculation didn’t get updated until I added that and filled in some data into that field.
So yes, calculation fields are being evaluated on custom layouts and the Default Layout and even on the multi-column list view.
So I’m not sure what’s causing the problem for you
It would be nice to have a button or shortcut to (re)calculate current record. Even better to have current record recalculated after any field change (with exit focus)
That’s exactly what happens already. When you type a value, the calculations are updated.
I’ve also been testing with the file you sent me the other day and it’s working properly in your file. No need to click the refresh button.
mmm,
don’t know what is wrong then. None of my calculations are update unless I choose to click the button.
Do you still have my file? If so I’ll sent you a PM what you could test for me…
Although I only use this on the Mac version. I have tested the same on iOS. No instant calculation also but I believe that is normal on iOS?
The iOS version should update the calculations too.
I do still have your file.
I’ve worked through my code and I’ve got it working now.
great!
do you have build a new beta?
