Calculated Fields

Hi,

I have created a calculated field which seems to be locked on the form. Is there a way that I can unlock it?

I looked everywhere but I am not sure where to unlock it. I thought of business rule to unlock it but I realized that is not possible either.

My requirement is to calculate the duration of two date time fields but also let the users modify the calculated field if required in rare occassions.

Please let me know if I am doing something dumb or have any suggestions for me. Thanks for any help!

    A calculated field is always calculated, you can't let users modify a calculated value.

    If you need your users to allow to edit the value, then create a standard field and implement the calculation using a plugin/workflow to provide a default value to your users.
