 * I’m using a select field with 3 options each with a separate value in a form 
   to do calculations.
 * But….in another part of the calculations, that field is used with other values.
   Is it possible that when a selection is made, that selection is duplicated to
   a hidden field that I can then use with the different values?
 * I hope this is clear.

 * Hi [@napalmx37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/napalmx37/),
 * If a specific option from that select field is selected then the selected value
   should get carried to the next field where you use the “{select-1}” field.
 * Example, if you want to use the value selected from the select field inside a
   calculation field’s formula, you only need to add the field name, i.e.:
   {select-
   1}

 * If the above is how you have implemented it, and if you still have issues, could
   you please share the form export and list the fields so we can check the configuration
   and get a better idea?
 * Please check the following doc on how to export a form:
   [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export)
   If you are concerned about any sensitive information in the form, then you can
   duplicate your form, remove any sensitive information, and then export it.You
   can share the export file via Google Drive, Pastebin, Dropbox, or any cloud service
   in the next reply.Looking forward to your response.Best Regards,Nithin

 * Hi Nithin,
 * [https://pastebin.com/jxjgjc7G](https://pastebin.com/jxjgjc7G)
 * So, the select “Giant Talon hardtail mountain bikes, for use on” has 3 options–
   each with a calculation value (350/ 450 / 550) that I use.
 * If you want a helmet as well – the price of the helmet depends on what you chose
   under the Giant Talon select. So, if you use it on their trails it’s an additional
   cost of 80, otherwise 100 for Off Trails or Events.
 * I hope this clears it up.
