Hi all,

I have an issue about sequence Calculated fields and depend fields that using in onSave even Javascript.

E.g:

A: Simple Field

B: Simple Field

C: Calculated Field = A + B

D: Simple Field

E: Simple Field

Javascript: OnSave ()

var C = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("C").getValue();

E = C + D

Issue: When I click Save, C always use previous/old value. OnSave event always fire before C is calculated.

Is there anyhow configure Calculated fields are calculate before OnSave event ?

Hi,

What I understand from various threads is that calculated fields are real-time. However, instead of real-time, these seem to happen upon save and not when the inputs are made available.

real-time for calculated fields mean after the record is saved and in the same transaction, not when the input fields of the calculated field changes before the saving.

you can write a javascript that does the same as the calculated field, without knowing exactly what are you doing is difficult to provide a different way

You can also perform the same operation in plugin code instead of using Javascript.

See below article for more information.
