Loop of calculations?

    Hi I want to calculate a value in one field if a value is entered into another, but also do it the other way to, so for instance
    the calculation in field 1

    (function(){
if(fieldname2 >= 1) return fieldname2*3;
})();

    But also in field 2 if someone enters a value in field 1 instead, this calculation in field 2

    (function(){
if(fieldname1 >= 1) return fieldname1*5;
})();

    How should I do this so I don’t get stuck in an infinite loop? Just adding those equations they will keep triggering each other wont they?

    Thanks

    Hello @zukenstein

    You might need to implement some tricks.

    Insert a “HTML Content” field in the form with the following piece of code as its content:

    
<script>
var edited_field = 0;
jQuery(document).on('keydown', '[id*="fieldname1_"]', function(){edited_field = 1;});
jQuery(document).on('keydown', '[id*="fieldname2_"]', function(){edited_field = 2;});
</script>

    and then, edit the equations as follows:

    
(function(){
if(edited_field == 2) return fieldname2*3;
return __ME__;
})();

    and 

    
(function(){
if(edited_field == 1) return fieldname1*5;
return __ME__;
})();

    Best regards.

    Thats excellent thanks

    One further thing please, what would I do to introduce another field 3 as an option so

    Field 1 how you said

    (function(){
if(edited_field == 2) return fieldname2*3;
return __ME__;
})();

    If field 3 has a value entered but not field 2, how would I add

    if(edited_field == 3) return fieldname3*7;

    into the above equation? I tried

    (function(){
if((edited_field == 2) return fieldname2*3) || ((edited_field == 3) return fieldname3*7);
return __ME__;
})();

    But that didn’t seem to work thanks

    BTW I did also add field 3 into the script

    Hello @zukenstein

    Your use of the parenthesis is wrong, the equation would be:

    
(function(){
if(edited_field == 2) return fieldname2*3;
else if(edited_field == 3) return fieldname2*7;
return __ME__;
})();

    Best regards.
