    Hello,

    Calculated field are always read only, which means you can't manually feed value to this field as it is calculated by the CRM, so there is no point of having requirement level for this field.

    Hi,

    This is because users can't change calculated fields and these will always be calculated based on your criteria.  So technically, you don't need to set any requirement level. If the calculation is not working due to missing value of any field used in the calculation then you need to set those field business required/ recommended.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi ,

    This is by design , you can not set business required for calculated field , set other filed business required by which calculation has defined.
