I think I understand, however, I will ask that you clarify "pass through" and also give a specific example of what you're doing.
Hi Rob
Thanks for your reply. I will try to explain. For example if I have 2 products one hidden by conditional logic and one showing. The one hidden is set to a default value. I would expect only the amount from the one showing to go through to the total. However the product that is not showing because conditions have not been met is still adding to the total cost. If I do not have a default value on the hidden product it is fine. However I require default values as it makes it easier for our customer.
Many Thanks
I'm about halfway there. I am looking more for a "technical" explanation of how you embed a form and use a value from it as part of a calculation. I created a form with an A/B dropdown, some number fields and a total field. Based on selecting A or B, the number fields show/hide conditionally. The total field works as expected, only totaling the fields that are shown. So the next step was to create a form with a number field and embed that form into the original form and make that embedded form's number field be part of the total. I did that and made the embedded form conditional on the A/B dropdown, included its value in the Total calculation and it works as expected as well. So, what are you doing differently?
