The String calculation type is used when the output should be text. This mode allows you to:
When String is selected, you can also set a Case Type:
When the calculation type is set to String, the formula panel displays only the fields on your form that support text-based operations. These fields appear under the Fields section and can be inserted into string formulas.
If your form contains only one text-compatible field, only that field will be listed. The panel automatically filters out all field types that cannot be used in text calculations.
Text-compatible fields that may appear here include Text fields, Email fields, Phone fields, Dropdown fields, and Calculate fields that return text values.
Arithmetic and rounding functions are not applicable when the calculation type is set to String, because String calculations are designed for text-based operations only. In String mode, only text-related functions—such as merging text and more.
