calculator_field

Introduction
Calculator Field lets site builders compute values from other fields using a simple tokenized math formula (e.g., “[field_price] * [field_quantity]”), with live updates on edit forms and computed output on view.

Features

Build formulas with field tokens: “[field_a] + ([field_b] * 0.2)”
Live calculation on node edit forms (no save required)
Formatter computes at view time (server-side) for accurate output
Optional display of:
Original formula
Formula with current field values substituted (e.g., “10.50 * 3”)
List of fields used and their values
Token picker for eligible fields (integer, float, decimal), excludes system fields

Post-Installation
