Three Decimal Places on Calculations

    I have a form I am working on which really requires that the conditions I set to calculate results of fields to input into another field, to allow for proper calculations (WITHOUT ROUNDING) of numbers which can go as far as (3) decimal places to the right of the zero. 

    In the below screenshot, see the "Recommended Mirror Width" block. It has rounded up from 62-5/8 (62.625) to 62.63. 

    This one is really important, for us in the picture framing world, being able to have these forms go three decimals is HUGE. I fear using these forms will not continue to work for us without this capability.

    You can change the decimal places into 3 inside the condition or calculation. Here's how:

    1. In the Form Builder, select the "(1) Wall Width (inches)" field and then click the "Conditions" button.
