The dollar sign will not show up in my 'sales tax' field

Hello,

1) The dollar sign will not show up in my 'sales tax' field, please see screen shot

2)

Thank you so much!

Please make sure the $ sign is in string or text format. The background color of each item corresponds to its data format:

1. Black background 0-9 - Number

2. Lightbrown background A-Z - String

To toggle the data format, just click the $ sign in your condition and it should change its background color from black to lightbrown.

Your 2nd question was moved to a separate thread to avoid confusion:

I'll reply to you there shortly.

Hi there, I tried your suggestion about the $ but it is not working, at least in MY preview mode.  Is it showing up in yours?  Any further suggestions?

Thanks!

I checked your form and see that the dollar sign in the value calculation field is still not set to string.

Please click it once to convert it to string or text.

After you clicked the dollar sign, the result should be like this.
Please give it a try and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hello, I did change it to string/text mode.  I've checked it and what's happening is after I click save, the change is not saving.  I went back and re-did the change three times with saving and it always reverts back to black when I go back into the condition.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

I just checked your form and all of your form calculation widget is blank. Please follow this guide on How to Perform Form Calculation Using a Widget.

Also, please always check if the changes you made to your form is saved.

Here's a screenshot showing changes I made is saved.

Hello,

The field my question was in reference to is the '6% sales tax' field, which is set up as a condition.  And yes, I am checking to make sure my changes are saved and they are according to the instructions you gave.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks!

Sorry for the quick answer above. I see now why the "$" sign is not showing in 6% tax field.

The other fields are calculation form widget while your tax field is short text entry.

Please change it into calculation form widget and let us know how it goes. :)
