    I need your help—

    Is there a way to copy and paste a formula into the Form Calculation Widget?

    I haven't found a way to duplicate the widget and retain the formula.


    Thank you!

    Unfortunately this is not possible at this time. Duplicating also the calculation widget will not copy the formula inside the widget to the copy version.

    You will need to compose the formulae every time on the new calculation widget on the form.

    We need this option. 

    Not having copy and paste is antiquated.
