Difference between Text type and Calculation type in conjunction with repetitions

Featured Replies

Hello everybody

I have a simple formular:

Let([



fwn=Get ( CalculationRepetitionNumber );

];



Vorlagenmatrix[fwn]



)

Fielddefenitions:

(1) Vorlagenmatrix | Text[24]

(2) SomeFieldname | Text[2] | Auto-Enter Calculation replaces existing value

(3) SomeFieldname | Calculation[2] | from Tablename, "The formular: Let(...."

The calulation at the top is used with SomeFieldname.

Now I have two different scenarios:

1.

Using Fielddefinition number 2

Result: [color:red]Only the first repetion of the "SomeFieldname" will adapt to changes made in the Fields of "Vorlagenmatrix"

Now I change the type of SomeFieldname to "Calculation"

2.

Using Fielddefinition number 3

Result: [color:red]All repetitions of "SomeFieldname" adapt to changes made in the Fields of "Vorlagenmatrix"

Question: Why is the SomeFieldname(Type:Text)'s calulation, behaving different from the SomeFieldname(Type:Calculation)'s calculation?

Why is only the first repetionen in SomeFieldname(Type:Text) changing??

This sucks :)

Hi

a repeating calculation field evaluates all its repeatitions

a repeating field with option of auto-enter a calculation evaluates ONLY the first rep.
