    Show “Field Type: Calculated Field” as a:

    “Field Type: Text Area”

    I have a form in which the result is a text string and I would like it to be displayed in a “Text Area” field because it does not give space on one line.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you.

    Hello @mevabien22

    You can use the calculated field as auxiliary and display the result into another field, as a “HTML Content” field.

    For example, assuming your current equation is: fieldname1+fieldname2

    1. Insert a “HTML Content” field in the form, and insert a div tag as its content where will be displayed the result, for example: <div class="result-here"></div>

    2. Modify the equation as follows:

    
(function(){
var result = fieldname1+fieldname2;
jQuery('.resul-here').html(result);
return result;
})()

    3. Finally, as the calculated field is used as auxiliary, you can hide it from the public form, ticking the corresponding checkbox in its settings.

    and that’s all.
    Best regards.
