Recalculate chain

Hi,

I have problem w calculated fields. I need such construction:

1. repeat with budżet positions with buget category and let say person responsible for that particular budget position.

2. person is a separate repeat

3. categories is a list of category defined as select1

In budget repeat i choose category and person and have value of that category

In person repeat I have calculated fields that count value per category per persone

e.g. sum(/budget/position[category='categoryname' and person = current()../../personname]/value)

I have also summary table with columns : category |persontype 1 | persontype2 | totalin category.

My problem is that not all calculated field changes it values when I'm changing values in budget repeat. Sometimes it haapens only when I add new row in my budget repeat.

Is it possible to force orbeon to calculate values in different way? I don;t know . How many iterations should be done to have correct values.

I tryied to run xf:recaluclate action but without success.

Hi Jarek,

Could you try editing the source of your form (in Form Builder's sidebar,
under "Advanced", "Edit Source"), and adding on the `<xf:model>` the
following attribute:

xxf:analysis.calculate="true"

You'll let me know if this helps.

Hi,

Alex is much better now :)

I can observe a delay in re-calculation and but the same is with validation. My form is quite huge with many validation rules and calculations.

I'm thinking about orbeon client-side validation/calculation. Is it any disadvantages in such approach?

Hi Jarek,

Excellent, I'm glad that helped. And are you referring to possible downsides
of adding `xxf:analysis.calculate="true"`? If so, that feature was
implemented earlier, but needed more testing, thus wasn't enabled by
default, but it will be on by default starting in 2018.1, so there is no
downside.
