Heads up! This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

Apply this filter to enforce calculation during server-side validation. It is disabled by default.

Note: This is an experimental feature and doesn't fully support all calculation types yet. See below for some of the limitations.

Calculations that use repeated values, or calculation fields in a repeater.
.toFixed()
[age] / [date_calc] shortcodes
Ternary expressions that involve ? and : characters.
Any shortcode options like show="value" / show="label".
