    hi,

    I have a suggestion to improve your nice form maker Forminator. In some of the fields such as radio, select, checkbox, there is an option to enable Calculations.
    At the moment it only accepts numeric, but I suggest to expand it to accept other characters too to be able to insert data from other places in the site, using shortcode for instance, (such as Woocommerce product price [product_price id=”123″], ACF, Pods or any other places).

    Do you think it is reasonable and possible to add such functionality to your plugin?

    thanks

    Hi @sdnazdi

    I hope you’re well today!

    Thank you for this suggestion but before I’ll pass it over to our developers, let’s first make sure that we are on the same side. Let me know, please:

    1. do you mean calculation settings of fields like e.g. number or radio where you can enable calculations and set numerical values for options (so that could also accept shortcodes’ outputs)?

    2. or do you mean the calculation field -to be able to use such shortcodes in calculation formula?

    Best regards,
    Adam

    thanks for your reply.

    At the moment I mean the first one, but i mean that calculation enabled inside such fields (select, radio, checkbox, number, etc) which at the moment accept numerical value, it could also accept other type of shortcodes (e.g. […], {…}, etc).

    Maybe there could be cases for second one, i do not encounter such cases yet, maybe your R&D team can foresee and discuss if the second case would happen and useful.

    I like to add to my explanation, Assume i have two fields one checkbox and one radio field, when one adds a shortcode in radio calculation (this shortcode has a numerical value behind it e.g. from WC price etc.), then in calculation field where I calculate ‘{checkbox-1}}+{radio-1}’ , then in frontend of that form this calculation displays the total value in numeric.
