Dropdown menus should be allowed for Calculations

Permanently deleted user

Currently only Numbers manually typed can be used in Calculations. It would be good to allow dropdown numbers to allow for better data to be evaluated as opposed to additional errors from typos.

    Hi Eljin,

    I have a work-around for you! It makes use of our Mirror backdoor feature (instead of the mirror field). 

    First, create your dropdown field with all of your numbers in it: 

    Note that this field is called Number.

    On another screen (it has to be on another screen for the backdoor to work), create a number field called Number (it has to have the same name as the dropdown field). Under more in the field settings, you'll see the Receipt Label field. Type in MIRROR (all caps): 

    That will tell that number field to pull in the same value you've selected on the first screen. Then you can calculate as usual with that number. 

    Here's what that looks like on mobile: 

    Hope that helps!
