I have a recordset that already has two fields with data. I need to be able to take the sum of those two fields and add it it as a default value to a form field.

I am sure this has been asked before but I can't find it. How do I retrieve the sum of two fields in a recordset?

Hello Brad,
Is your field inside a repeat region? Is your data source containing one record or more? Which of the records you want to sum?

Two fields in one record inside a detail region.

Then all you need is to add this as value for the field:

value="{{dbField1.toNumber() + dbField2.toNumber()}}"

Note, that you must have the formatter include on the page, in order to be able to use the toNumber() format. So just format some random value, and then remove the format from it, to just get the include.

Perfect! I was doing it correctly just didn't have a formatter on the page. Once I added that it worked perfectly. Thank you.
