Attention: calculations have changed in v2.9.7.0!
Due to some bugs, the calculation routine had to be re-written in order to fix them. In previous versions, there was no way whether to choose the calculated value or the input value to be used in calculations.
Additionally, the element option “Overwrite_price” calculates element prices differently. So, if you use element calculations or Subtotal elements in your form, it is recommended you take a look at the forms if all calculations work well with the new version.
Subtotal Overwrite Price Change
In previous versions, if the “Overwrite_price” element option for Subtotal elements were disabled, their own value weren’t considered in calculations. Some form calculations were wrong due to this issue which is fixed now. You can see the difference in the beside image (red rectangle).
Generally, Subtotal elements should always be used for advanced calculations or calculation placeholders (like in the loan calculator example).
Use Calculated Target Value
You can now choose whether to calculate with the target input value or the calculated value. In order to use the calculated values, enable the checkbox after the target dropdown selection in the calculation section. If the checkbox is not checked, the input value will be taken.
The beside images show the difference between input value and calculated target value. The Numbers element’s value is 1. As you can see in the calculation section below the Numbers element, its value will be multiplied by 2, so its input value is 1 and its calculated value is 2.
The first Subtotal element uses the input value (1 * 3 = 3) whereas the second Subtotal element uses the calculated target value (2 * 3 = 6).
Calculation Version
If your forms calculate incorrectly after the update, you can switch the calculation version in the Global Settings -> Other -> Calculation version.
However, this is not recommended since the old calculation version had some minor bugs in terms of calculation. If you have a test site, you can export and import the forms there and change the calculations accordingly.
