Reseting a calculation field to zero when changing the selection in the dropdown.

In a drop down you can choose to rent a studio full day (ganzer Tag) or half day (halber Tag). Doing so, a hidden drop down with different timeslots shows up (in one you can choose timeslots of 8h and the other of 4h) for each. 

I want to calculate the endtime of the appointment. But the important thing is, that it needs to send booth values seperatly to one field cause I need it for zapier (zapier reads just one endtime field).

So if you change the timeslot dropdown, it should zero the calculation field (fieldname:final endzeit calculator), so the math for the other is right. Right now it just adds the 2nd field value to the other.

Hi,

According to my understanding, you are wondering how to set values to default value when the user changes dropdown selection.

''So if you change the timeslot dropdown, it should zero the calculation field so the math for the other is right. Right now it just adds the 2nd field value to the other.''

Please have a look at the following guide:

Open Settings>Form Settings>Show More

Set the "Clear Hidden Field Values" to "Clear On Being Hidden"

When you make this change on your form, values in conditionally hidden fields are set to zero. 

If you need any other supports, please feel free to let us know. 

Thank you.

Ah thank you! I saw that info, but didnt know where it is in jotform 4.

However, there is still a mistake. 

From the start, the form prechoose ganzer tag (full day) and shows the timeslots with 8h length. 

I made a calculation for endtime with ganzer tag (full day) + 8

This works and shows 16 (endtime 8+8)

when i choose half day and the hidden dropdown "half day/halber tag" shows up, it says a wrong endtime in the calculation field... still 16 instead of 12. (8pm + 4h)

any idea?

regards,

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

Your field titled "final endzeit calculator hidden" has these conditions:

Noticed that conditions #2 and #3 above states that if "ZEITRAUM halber Tag" is FILLED and the other is if "ZEITRAUM 1 Tag" is FILLED. Noticed that this is somehow will result to inaccurate results because ZEITRAUM halber Tag and ZEITRAUM 1 Tag has default items selected:

In V4 form builder, here's how you can find it:

These default selections are triggering the conditions which uses the "IF FILLED" statements. Both full day and half day are both filled by default so changing the options will not work.

You either need to change the default selection to empty OR change your conditions, instead of use "ZEITRAUM 1 Tag" and "ZEITRAUM halber Tag" to trigger calculation on "final endzeit calculator hidden", use "Art de Buchung" instead.

Here's an example:

You can see that if ANY of the "1/2 Tag (4h)" options in Art der Buchung is selected, then the calculation will be triggered. 

See which one would be best fitting, I am not sure if I understood the whole process though.

Let us know if I missed something. 

Thank you! the 2nd answer helped my problem. All is good now!

I prefered it cause I wanted to show a time instead an empty drop down. 

What a great support!!

Klaus
