Populate fields like text box, email, textarea, or even an address fieldset using the Update/Calculate Field condition.
We’ll be using this form as an example where we need to pass the Personal Email field’s value to the Business Email field.
Here’s how:
- Go to the Settings tab in the Form Builder.
- Click Conditions on the left.
- Select the Update/Calculate Field option.
- Set the trigger and action next. For our sample form, the condition would look like the following:
To break that down:
- We’ve set the trigger or IF statement to check if the Personal Email field “Is Filled”.
- The action or DO statement will insert the Personal Email field’s value into the Business Email field if the condition is met.
- Click Save to complete the setup.

So IF any email is checked, that email is copied to another field (Seems HAS to be Email Field ONLY, because only an Email Field enable itself to be chosen for further actions - Namely send the approval emails to the chosen Approvers) - How to construct this? Or not possible atm?
I had error:
IF more than 1 emails are checked, multiple emails will be copied to the designed field (but not one
Can you conditionally collate multiple field values into one organized long text field or paragraph? Thanks.
WHen a field has multiple fields, such as a Product Order, there is a strange phenomena:
In the 'condition' it lists all the subfields of MyProducts,
but in the action or calculation there is no way to reference these fields.
Is this a bug?
