    Hello!

    We are trying to include a user supplied option so what value do we fill in the Calculation Values if we don’t know what it is. Is there something to fill in so it will pull the value from whatever our user enters?

    In that case, you can use our guide below to accomplish your requirement:

    Let me explain with a simple example:

    If the user is selecting options from a list and would like to enter their values. This value can then be populated or calculated into another field as shown below.

    If you want the fields to appear side-by-side, you can shrink the fields by going to the field properties.

    Once you have set this up, you can add the calculation conditions. Go to Settings > Conditions > select Update/Calculate field.
