Is it possible to output the return; of a calculated field to a text box?

Not a page break, paragraph break.

Hello,

If you want to submit the result with a specific format, I recommend you create the text as part of the equation, but assign it to a hidden field, for example, if there is the hidden field: fieldname1, you can edit the equation similar to:

(function(){
var str;
/** The code here assigns the value to the str variable **/
jQuery('[id*="fieldname'+'1_"]').val(str);
})()

and that’s all.

The fieldname1 field will be submitted to the server side with the formatted text (using HTML tags as part of the str variable)

Best regards.

Ah brilliant, thanks. I just didn’t know if a hidden field could accept the value of the calculated field’s string. However, once I assign it to the hidden field, how would I format within the string?

I suppose any formatting I do will need to be done in javascript?

Hello,

You should generate the value of the str variable with the tags, for example:

(function(){
var str = '<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold;">Hello World</span>';
jQuery('[id*="fieldname'+'1_"]').val(str);
})()

Best regards.
