 * I am using another plugin to complete form calculations. However, when I use 
   field names from Conditional Fields, it won’t calculate them. Is there a way 
   around this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * They all have unique names:
 * [group Inv1][number invoice-1-amt placeholder “Amount”][/group]
    [group Inv2][
   number invoice-2-amt placeholder “Amount”][/group] [group Inv3][number invoice-
   3-amt placeholder “Amount”][/group] [group Inv4][number invoice-4-amt placeholder“
   Amount”][/group] [group Inv5][number invoice-5-amt placeholder “Amount”][/group]
 * Calculation I am trying to do is invoice-1-amt+invoice-2-amt+invoice-3-amt and
   so on…
 * Could it be as not all the fields from the calculation are filled in?

 * I do believe that should work. The problem has likely to do with the syntax. 
   Best to check this with the author of the calculator plugin.
 * A likely problem that i see is that the dash (-) might be interpreted as a minus
   sign, so you might want to rename the fields to invoice_1_amt. But again, this
   is just a guess. Please check with the author of the other plugin.

 * Good thought!! I have asked the other plugin too but their support is super slow/
   never replies so figured it was worth asking here too in case you had a suggestion.
   Moving – to _ is something I hadn’t considered, will try it!
 * Thank you!!!
