Set a Star Rating Field using a Calculation Field Result

[Keith Strachan]

I am a complete beginner to this Tap Forms Tool and am trying to figure some things out:

Is there a way to set a Star Rating Field using the results of a Calculation Field?

So if in one form a user is specifying preferences on a variety of issues in a poll, for example, and these preferences are collected individually as percents. Then in a calculation field the average of these preferences are calculated.

Now I am wishing to plop this final calc back into a star rating field to visually represent the average percentage.

Can this be done?

Hi Keith,

Not with a Calculation field, but it can be done using a Script field because Script fields can write their results to other fields. So you could write a script to gather your values from your fields in the record, then perform the same kind of calculation you would have done in the Calculation field, and then just write the result into your Rating field.

Thanks!
