    Hi Team - On this form: http://form.jotform.com/212624422136143

    When I select a pre-defined value vs Other (and enter a number) from the single select element "Donation Amount", I get a different outcome on a related field below called "Your Donation Amount" (at the bottom of the form).

    Do this:

    • The Donation Amount defaults to 50, so publish the form, leave the Donation Amount on default selection of 50, go to the bottom of the form, check the checkbox labeled "Yes, I'd like to help cover ...". Check the value of the field Your Donation Amount. After checking, it is $51.55.
    • Go back up and click on the selection 25 from Donation Amount. Go down to Your Donation Amount - it is now $25.78
    • Go back up and click on Other and enter 15. Go down to Your Donation Amount - it is $15 ... it should be $15.46 (the checkbox is still checked).
    • Now, uncheck the checkbox and check it again. Your Donation Amount becomes $15.46.

    Is there anyway - after the checkbox is checked - to have all values selected from Donation Amount (including variable Other amounts) always do the math and show the extra amount in Your Donation Amount. i.e. have Other Amount act like all the other choices in the Donation Amount field for the Your Donation Amount?


    Thanks

    Jeff

    Hello Jeff - Per checking, the reason why you're getting a different number is that you have the below conditions on your form. You are adding 3.1 percent to whichever donation amount is selected.

    I'm sorry but could you clarify what you're trying to achieve, please? Do you wish to have all donation values selected as default and show the extra amount in another field?
