FAQ

A: The Calculated Fields Form’s page contains detailed information about each field in the plugin: Click Here

A: I’ll try to describe the process with some hypothetical examples. Assuming the radio button field is fieldname123, and you can select the choice with the value 5, uses the following piece of code as part of the equation associated with the calculated field:

    getField(123).setVal(5);

But if the fieldname123 is a checkbox field and you want to select the choices with values: 5 and 8, the code would be:

    getField(123).setVal([5,8]);

To set a radio button (fieldname123) to value 5:

getField(123).setVal(5);

To select multiple values in a checkbox (fieldname123) — values 5 and 8:

getField(123).setVal([5,8]);
