Need to calculate the numeric sum values from multiple fields

[Raul Luna1]

I have four fields that have dropdown values of 1, 2 ,3. I need to know how to add all the values that were selected in the fields and have the total populate in another field. Would I have to modify the 'Overall Reseach Score' dictionary item and write a script in the Calculated Value tab?

Fields:

1. Strategic Alignment (dropdown selections 1-3)
2. Community Support (dropdown selections 1-3)
3. Institutional Risk (dropdown selections 1-3)
4. Improve Capabilities (dropdown selections 1-3)
5. Overall Research Score (Totals field)

So if each of the selected values were 1. Then the 'Overall Research Score' would be 4.

Hi Akash,

So i created onChange client scripts for each of the following fields like you recommended: Strategic alignment, Community support, Institutional risk, Improve capabilities. 

I also created an onLoad script with the same code. When i load the page i'm getting errors on each of the fields. Sorry i'm not coder so maybe I misinterpreted something in the code.

Hi Raul,

I see a mistake in the var researchScore part of the code. You should be using the declared variables in the parseInt() function.

Please replace it with the following

var researchScore = parseInt(strategicAlignment) + parseInt(communitySupport) + parseInt(institutionalRisk) + parseInt(improveCapabilities);

Hope that solves the problem.
