Use Dynamic Dropdown value for calculation.

    On page 4 of my document, I have four Dynamic Dropdown fields.

    For each item selected (Insufficient, Minimal, Sufficient, and Excellent) I need to choose a number.

    Once I select numbers from the four fields, I need them to add up and appear in the subtotal field.

    Hi ACCS_AgeWaivers,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, the calculation condition does not work with the Dynamic Dropdown widget. It seems that you can't use the value from this widget for calculation. As a workaround, you can use the Dropdown element to assign a calculation value for calculation.

    Once done, you can use the Form Calculation widget to calculate the value selected on the Dropdown field. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click the Add Form Element.
    2. Under the widgets tab, search and add Form Calculation to your form.
    3. Once added, click the Add Field button, then select the Dropdown field.
    4. Lastly, click Save.

    You can create multiple dropdowns and add them to your Form Calculation so you can calculate the subtotal.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
