Description -
When you update a calculated field on a custom form, the change to the calculated field is not changed in other custom forms where the same field is used. The calculated field needs to get updated in each custom form it is used in.
Workfront Support Response > "After speaking with my team and running some tests, this is currently working as designed, and why we recommend copying the calculation into the instructions of the field settings so they can be copied and pasted into the calculation after it is added to the new form. Currently, if you update the calculation in one form it will not carry over to another form where that field lives." REF: Case Number 00431554
Why is this feature important to you -
Having to update a custom calculated field in multiple forms adds to the administrative burden and can lead to user error or inconsistencies in the calculated value across forms.
How would you like the feature to work -
Calculated fields should work like all other custom fields. Updates to the fields show be universal to all the forms it is used in.
