 * Hi,
 * thank you for your support as always.
 * I have a form that has only calculated fields and they are all editable, I want
   to set my calculations such that the calculated field that is being typed into
   will control the other fields. For instance:
 * fieldname1 = fieldname2 + 1
 * fieldname2 = fieldname1 + 1
 * fieldname3 = fieldname2 -1
 * so if 2 is typed into fieldname1
 * fieldname2 = 3
 * fieldname 3 =(3-1) 2
 * if a number is typed into fieldname2, the result changes based on the number 
   in fieldname2
 * I just want to find out how the last number that is typed in will be the one 
   to control the result.
 * Thank you in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsetting-a-control-calculated-field%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@graicifyd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graicifyd/)
 * No, I’m sorry, you cannot implement the project in that way because it generates
   an infinite loop. The fieldname1 field uses the fieldname2 in its equation and
   the fieldname2 uses the fieldname1.
 * If you need to implement this relationship would be required a custom implementation.
 * If you need a custom coding service, please, contact me through my private website:
