Hi everyone. I have a simple test survey with four questions. Let's call them A,B,C,D. A and B are short text fields with numeric values. C is a short text field that will populate with the value of A minus B. I am performing the math in D which is an equation field. I am also assigning the value to C (from the equation field) after the math is performed. The equation field is located AFTER the other questions as I expect order of execution may be related to position. The survey is a multi group survey displayed as three pages (screens). The questions in the other groups are just placeholders so that I can test the ABCD screen to see how things act within a paginated scenario.
What works:
When I get to the screen with ABCD, I see the math has properly worked and the assignment of values have all worked (I use default answers for the questions and the math happens as soon as I navigate to the screen).
The challenge:
If I update the value or A or B, the math doesn't recompute unless I click the NEXT button. Is there a TRIGGER of some sort that I need to implement in order for the math to update as the fields are updated?
The goal:
Upon A or B being updated with its values, I want C to reflect the change in values as it recomputes A minus B. And I'm trying to achieve this goal without clicking the NEXT button. For example, on blur from any of the A or B fields.
Thank you Tony! Your guidance was helpful and shifting over to using JS to achieve the goal worked perfectly. The trick for me, as learned in your other posts, was to assign a value to a question and then trigger('keyup') for it to finalize the process. I attached all of my actions to a BLUR event for the related input fields (this info is for future users searching for similar questions). Thanks!
