    1.) Is there more information available on Calculation fields?
    2.) I am trying to calculate total cost on a simple setup.
    Form: Project
    Field: Total Cost
    Form: Project Detail
    Field: Cost
    I have a one to many relationship setup between the two and that seems to be working. However there just isn’t enough info on setting up the calculated field. Hope this is enough info. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, calculation doesn’t seem to be very thoroughly documented.

    In particular, as you say, it’s not clear what options (if any) exist for computations based on related form data, which is something I’d really like to see.

    This is another “Bento conversion” issue I hadn’t gotten around to bringing up here. I used to have “parent form” fields totaling or counting fields from related data, and if TapForms is capable of that there are no clues in the documentation I can find.

    I haven’t written support for accessing child fields from a parent field’s calculation formula, so there’s no way to do it right now. Sorry.
