Title: Reset Button Does Not Reset Calculation Fields Last modified: April 2, 2018 --- # Reset Button Does Not Reset Calculation Fields * Resolved [andersjh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andersjh/) * (@andersjh) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reset-button-does-not-reset-calculation-fields/) * I have an extremely simple form with a bunch of drop down selects. Various options result in different totals and it works perfectly without issue. * However, If the user wants to just start over on the form, I added a reset button. The reset works great and clears all input fields. However, the calc field remains unchanged at the old calculated value. * So I thought no biggie, just javascript to the rescue, I can get reset to display 0 very easily with jquery. But… calcs don’t work properly anymore. * In fact just by default, once you hit reset you’re screwed on calc fields period. * This is an EXTREMELY simple form not connected to anything. I can easily export it so you can import it and duplicate the problem.

Everything starts fresh. * Hope that clarifies. I was going to modify your code but it would be much more simple to just use a simple html h3 tag and populate calculations with inner html * Thread Starter [andersjh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andersjh/) * (@andersjh) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reset-button-does-not-reset-calculation-fields/#post-10137219) * but of course html just puts me back to calculation fields just won’t work for my needs unless I have a stupid mistake in setup. * And then if i have to work around CF enhanced functionality so much then cost/ benefit starts to be questioned and the matter of spending money on premium support is irrelevant since the product itself won’t meet my needs without a bunch of custom javascript beyond what is reasonably expected. * Plugin Contributor [christiechirinos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christiechirinos/) * (@christiechirinos) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reset-button-does-not-reset-calculation-fields/#post-10148253) * Hi there, * Thanks for using Caldera Forms, we appreciate you being a part of our community of form builders.

I have a form with pretty much nothing but drop down selects with no default value. There are 14of them but only 6 are required. So as I’m making drop down choices calc works great based on options I choose. But sometimes people just want to start over. I hit the reset button and all selects clear properly EXCEPT the calculation field. It stays at the last number and all future recalcs are wrong based on that. You can easily replicate. This has nothing to do with browser back and forth in my case * Thread Starter [andersjh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andersjh/) * (@andersjh) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reset-button-does-not-reset-calculation-fields/#post-10148349) * In general I love your product. Since your using bootstrap it would be very cool to include collapsible sections some how. * Thanks for all your efforts Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Reset Button Does Not Reset Calculation Fields’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/caldera-forms_475846.svg) * [Caldera Forms - More Than Contact Forms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/caldera-forms/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/caldera-forms/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/caldera-forms/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/caldera-forms/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/caldera-forms/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/caldera-forms/reviews/) ## Tags * [calculations](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/calculations/) * [reset button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/reset-button/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [andersjh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andersjh/) * Last activity: [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reset-button-does-not-reset-calculation-fields/#post-10148349) * Status: resolved
