Calculated Values in Update Datapages

[Casey]

I am using the Calculated Value datatype in my submission form.  The update form for the same table needs to also have a calculated value that can change when the user input changes (like the one in the submission form has).  However that datatype doesn't seem to exist in the update forms.

I can't use tricks like hidden cascading autocompletes (as I use elsewhere) because the query is far more complex than a simple SELECT statement.

Any thoughts on how to get around this?

Hi,

You can do that with custom JavaScript so the value gets recalculated when user enters a new digit in your field. To make it easier, I would recommend this JS plugin: http://autonumeric.org/

If you share the calculation you need, the name of the editable field and the method you are using to deploy your datapage, I could help you with the piece of code you would need.

Regards.

Hi all, 

 

Just to give you an update, Calculated Value is now available in Single Record Update and in any Details Page. You may check it out.
