Make Calculation Field Viewable in Webforms
From what I can tell there isn't any way to show calculation field on webforms. (you can have them and use them if you have access to them, but you cant show them on the link)
Is there any plans to implement this option? Because if it is implemented it would improve webforms and user interface immensely.
You could show standard text (a feature surprisingly not available on the webform). And you could write code to give user's feedback while filling out the webforms.

Hey Daniel,
A calculation field is usually empty unless item has been saved, in the webforms you create items and therefore data won't be saved in Podio yet - this will make it very difficult to support calculations in webforms :)
Anything is possible though so perhaps we can offer this in the future.

Hi Sara,
So what your saying is that if calculation fields were view-able on the webform, and I had a calculation that added two number that needed data to be inputted into them, then it wouldn't update because the calculation field doesnt calculate live, and because the data wouldn't have been saved into podio yet?
If that's the case, fair enough on that point. But at least it would solve the problem of not being able to do any formatting on webforms, such as title of sections, or separation lines, or anything like that.
