 * Love the plugin and I cannot wait for the connected forms plugin that you are
   working on!
 * I am having a problem with the math fields. I have built a reservation form that
   adds up the total of the user selections and gives a total price at the end of
   the form. The slug for the total field is: sub_total_pg_9, and it does show the
   correct total on the form.
 * However, when the form is submitted that field now has a different value. It 
   appears that it is missing the calculation from another field. But only when 
   it is submitted and processed.
 * Could it be because of the formula used in that field, or is it something else?
   The formula for that other field is: (Math.ceil(%estimated_weight%/100 )*48).
 * Thank you!
