Requested by Who field isn't working

Question

I have a request field that is one that I believe came with WF that I didn't build. It is a calculation "Requested by Who?" and has a formula that works on all my request object forms except one. When I add the field to this wonky form the calculation part isn't populated, so I put the formula in "additional settings", the same way it is on the other request forms, and I get an error. What am I doing wrong?

Formula: IF(ISBLANK({Requested By Who?}),Entered By.Name,{Requested By Who?})

Error: Requested By Who? field is used in a multi-form configuration, if you would like to change this formula you will need to remove this field and replace it with a new one containing the desired calculation.

I recommend you read this help article.https://one.workfront.com/s/document-item?bundleId=the-new-workfront-experience&topicId=Content%2FAdministration_and_Setup%2FTips_Tricks_and_Troubleshooting%2Ferror-message-field-used-in-multi-form-config.html&_LANG=enus Aside from this, I can add that the additional settings area is pretty finicky, especially when you have multiple forms attached to an object and all of them are using this calculated field. Like, just having an additional space at the beginning or end of the calculation can cause it to be "not identical"
