    I have a simple 2 questions form, first question is an input table that has calculation values as follows

    1,2,3,4

    5,6,7,8

    9,10,11,12

    13,14,15,16

    Next one is a number field setup with logic to copy Q1 value when selected.

    The login works fine when input type is Radio Button in Q1, however, when changing input type to checkbox in Q1, form will fail to copy selected value to Q2.

    Correction,

    The Conditional Logic** works fine when input type is Radio Button in Q1, however, when changing input type to checkbox in Q1, form will fail to copy selected value to Q2.

    Hi Ahmad,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The reason why it's not working is that the conditional logic doesn't clearly specify which option from the input table (with calculation values) should be used when a checkbox is selected. To fix this, the Form Calculation widget can be used instead of a regular number field. This way, you can pass the selected value from the checkbox, which then calculates the exact result. Let me walk you through it:

    1. In Form Builder, click the Trash Can icon on the right side of the number field to remove it.

    2. Next, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.

    3. In the Form Elements menu, under the Widgets tab, enter Form Calculation in the search bar, and drag and drop the widget to your form.

    4. Click on the Wand icon on the right side of the widget to open Widget Settings.

    5. Click on the Add Field button and select the Input Table.

    6. Then, select the checkboxes to pass the value to the widget and click on Ok button.

    7. Add the Plus icon in between the selected checkboxes and click on Save once done. That's it.

    The selection I made from the input table is just an example. You can choose the checkboxes based on which options you actually want to calculate from your input table. Here's the result:
