How to remove calculation in Form Calculation Widget?

    I had a field that was being loaded via a Form Calculation Widget. I have added new functionality that requires the use of two Update/Calculate Field Conditions instead. I've created those, but they will not function properly until the existing widget is gone. The trouble is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete the widget without deleting the entire field. That certainly can't be the only option, can it? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I've searched the forums and other resources with no luck.

    Yes, that's the correct form. The specific field is Guest Entrance Fee (on page 4) - unique name guestEntrance.

    Hi kaycarter001,

    Thanks for reaching back to us. Since you already incorporated an Update/Calculate Field conditional logic on the Guest Entrance Fee field, you simply need to remove the calculation in the widget settings to avoid calculation conflict. Let me show you how:

    1. On the Form Builder, click on the Guest Entrance Fee field and click on the wand icon.
    2. Click on the arrow key to delete the field and string value until it's blank.
    3. Finally, click on Save.How to remove calculation in Form Calculation Widget? Image 1 Screenshot 40

    With regard to your condition, since you want to add the $ sign, you need to update the condition and instead of copying the calculation value of 18 or 36 Holes which does have a dollar sign, use the Calculate Field action instead and us this formula { $ 18 or 36 Holes }. Let me show you how:

    1. On the condition, change the Do to Calculate Field Value.
    2. Add the $ symbol and make sure it's on a string value in light gray background.
    3. Add 18 or 36 Holes by clicking the Add field button.
    4. Finally, click on Save.How to remove calculation in Form Calculation Widget? Image 2 Screenshot 51
