Hidden fields not calculating

    I have numerous hidden text boxes that equal the total which is visible.  When all the hidden boxes are visible the total is correct, when they are hidden the total is incorrect.  It appears that the square footage and age calculations are omitted when the other fields are hidden.

    Please try changing 'Clear Hidden Field Values' parameter to default 'Clear on Submit' value via the form Preferences.

    This didn't fix my problem.  I did find a work around by setting the output to 0 if not selected.

    I am having the same issue (not having hidden forms calculating properly) and I am not seeing the same preference menu. Has this option been removed?

    This is where that option can be found under our new Preferences UI:

    Preferences > Advanced > Show More > Clear Hidden Field Values
