I have a form with both field conditions and calculations enabled. When certain conditions are met, hidden fields become visible, and users can fill them out. However, if a user goes back a step, causing those same fields to become hidden again, the data entered in those fields is still passed to the calculation, even though the fields are hidden.
Is there a way to prevent the values in hidden fields from being included in the calculation, or to reset them to their default values once they are hidden again, to avoid confusion and calculation errors?
Hmm…interesting. In some situations, the user might like to use numeric values from hidden fields in the calculation, so I would not change that as default. What I could do is to add an optional toggle “Ignore Hidden Fields”. Would that help?
