    2. Second of all how can I make my 'total cost' line to be calculated in real time ?

     

    examaple: Let's Choose 'Direct Traffic' and then change it back to any other traffic source (twitter or g00gle) and total cost shows 0.

    Everything is setted up correctly, how can I fix that ?

    I checked your form https://www.jotformeu.com/form/61014414245342 and I see some flaws on the calculation configuration and condition logic on the form.

    Why is there 2 Total Cost calculation field on the form?

    The calculation logic seems to be not working as intended because of the duplication of the field.

    I also suggest cleaning the form i.e. removing unused widget/fields like the Terms/condition

    In Preferences / Advanced settings, please correct these also.

    This is simple.

     

    There are 4 different types of traffic I am selling but one of them (ads3nse) has different numbers in 'daily visits' line.  This is why I made two different calculations because I had no idea how to make it right in one.

    I checked again the form https://www.jotformeu.com/form/61014414245342 and yes, it seems to be doing the calculation in real time now.

    I think you should also disable Continue Forms later because can cause confusion to the user as it saves the answers on the form during the session.

    this is optional though. Its up to you :-)

    Let us know if there is more we can assist you with.

    Cheers

    ok. Just one more thing.

     

    How can I change language of the form to English because there are hints in Polish (example: to pole jest wymagane' instead of 'This field is required)
