A few things to keep in mind

• Calculations and Summaries are only recalculated when every impacted screen is revisited.
• Please note that if a submission was created on an older version of a form, it cannot be copied once a newer version is published, regardless of settings. For example, a submission completed on version 1 can be copied while version 1 is active. However, once version 2 is published, the copy option will no longer be available for version 1 submissions, and only submissions from the current version can be copied.
