Friends,
This item has stumped me. I created a calc field to do a simple sum of if a typeahead field has a project in it or not...a 0 if nothing, a 1 if something in it. It works correctly when editing the form and choosing something in the typeahead field. As soon as I save the form the calculated field reverts to 0 (instead of 2 as the image shows) even though the typeahead fields have something in it. Any thoughts on why this might be occurring?

Following up to close this item out. I found out you can use the parameter in a typeahead field within a calculated expression. In the issue I outlined above code would look like the below:
Hi @Kurt_Jones,
I modeled the same thing, but noticed that the typeahead parameters are not among those listed in the formula builder, so even though I was able to syntactically get my formula to save, suspect that Workfront calculated expressions might not (yet) support typeaheads.
Regards,
Doug

Attaboy Kurt!
I'd forgotten, but am glad you remembered, that going the extra step to check the :name (or :ID) syntax does then return a value for the calc to work against, as opposed the the typeahead object, which does not.
Regards,
Doug
