So How could i buy this plugin?
need upgrade "ELITE" plan?
Hi there! You would buy the plugin here: https://formidableforms.com/pricing/
Actually, you don't need the Elite plan. Calculators are unlocked in the Basic plan, which starts at $99/year.
Hi Team,
Can your plugin handle calculations on date fields? eg: Set Date field to value of another date field if option A is selected?
This would be tremendously helpful 🙂
It can calculate the number of days between two dates. Calculating a second date can be done after form submit but it wouldn't be saved in a field. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/date/#kb-calculate-difference-in-days-in-a-form https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/date/#kb-offset
If the calculation is roughly the same every time (and depending on how your form works) you might be able to use conditional logic or lookup fields as well.
