Hi,
when i open a new form, the calculated fields are not empty.
I test this with a second list, the same result.
Without Forms Designer everything is okay.
Please help.
Best wishes
Tom

Hi Tom,
What is the need to use a calculated column in a new form? Does its formula contain other columns of the item?

But [Days Training Customer] is not populated yet. You cannot use calculated columns in a new form. If you need to calculate some value dynamically and refresh it in a form while a user is editing other fields, use JavaScript.
