Add a delay to a calculated field

I have created a form with that can be populated with existing data in a table. So that edits can be made. In the form I have a calculated field (as a default value) that is dependent on other data in the form loading to calculate. Currently I am getting incorrect results.

Is there a way to add a delay to the function I have in the default value field so that all the dependent data loads before the function runs.

Disclaimer - I am new to all of this. I'm guessing there is a simple solution but I couldn't find it.


Hello @Jared_Lake ,

Thank you for reaching out! Default values should automatically update once the data is correctly populated in the table. Since your example has many fields with different names, it’s a bit challenging to pinpoint the exact issue. Please feel free to share your application with me by exporting it to JSON.

Here’s an example I created to illustrate your case. We have a left column and a right column. The budget (gross) formula is simply the sum of the net budgets in the same column multiplied by the allocation percentage: (net_budget1 + net_budget2) * allocation_percentage.

If we modify any value, the budget (gross) value will automatically change:

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more details.

Hey @Jared_Lake! Welcome to the community. :wave: I'm going to pick up the conversation here on behalf of @gonzalo.

I've received your app JSON and dummy data and am unable to replicate the behavior that you're seeing when modifying an existing plan. I've included a screen recording of my interactions with the app here.

Is there a particular way you're using the app that triggers this unexpected behavior?
