How to make calculated field editable

Question

Hello, 
 
 How can we make calculated field editable.

Shivshankar Gawande · Accepted Answer

In order to make calculate fields editable you need to implement a Dependency SetValue instead of a sugarLogic formula via Studio. 
 In the trigger of dependency you need to evaluate whether it is empty or not, the way it will be calculated only if empty: 
 $dependencies['Quotes']['data_venda'] = array(
	'hooks' => array("view", "edit"),
	'trigger' => 'equal($data_venda_c,"")',
	'triggerFields' => array(),
	'onload' => true,
	'actions' => array(
 array(
 'name' => 'SetValue',
 'params' => array(
 'target' => 'data_venda_c',
 'value' => 'now()'
 ),
 ),
	),
);

Options: 1. Switch off Sugar Logic by making the field non-calculated - e.g via Studio, then configure your own calculations with logic hooks (server side) or js (client-side), so that the field value remains editable after calculation happened 2. To change the calculated value, add an additional "adjustment" field, then extend the calc field formula to include "adjustment" field into the calculation in a way you need. For an example of the "adjustment" field please refer to Discount Amount that makes the effect on Line Item Total in Quote Line Items
