Is it possible to set the "Number of Payments" using a Form Calculation, Conditional calculation, or similar method?

There is no indication in the post "How to Setup a Recurring Payment Option" regarding calculations.
Is it possible?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.
This is currently not possible, unfortunately, although you can set it up manually on PayPal.
Could you give us an example of what you would like to do?
We might be able to provide you with a workaround.
Should you have any further inquiries, do not hesitate to reply to this thread

brischneiReplied on January 4, 2021 at 2:33 PMMy use case is as follows:
1. Based on the user's selections, a total price is determined in form
calculation #1.
2. First payment is determined as 65% if the total price in form
calculation #2.
3. The number of payments will be determined by the number of months
between the current date and a fixed date in the future (e.g., today until
June 4, 2021 = 5) in form calculation #3.
4. The monthly payment amount (after the first payment) will be calculated
as (Calc 1 - Calc 2)/Calc 3
I'm having trouble with step 3. Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
To calculate the difference between two dates you can use two date picker fields and subtract them in a calculation field.
Unfortunately, I do not believe it is possible to pass the number of payments to the payments fields from the calculation widget.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
