 * Hi,
 * Excellent plugin! Thanks for the good work so far. Absolutely happy with the 
   plugin in general, but I need some help – workaround or a confirmation that the
   things I want to achieve will be possible in future releases or not.
 * **IF statement:**
    I have 1 dropdown select list and 3 single line text fields.
   If the user selects an item from the dropdown list, the 3 text fields should 
   show values based on the dropdown selection. Hint, there are a lot of entries
   in the dropdown list.
 * **Conditional formatting:**
    Text color based on (calculated) value. For example:
   if the calculated value < 5 then font color = red.
 * **Calculations:**
    I need a calculation formula with Square Root. But I only 
   can find the simple calculations like + – / x. In the manual formula field I 
   do not know the correct syntax for Square Root, which is normally sqrt, but that
   does not work.
 * Many thanks for your reply in advance.
 * Regards, Edwin
