Run formula while editing

[Mark]

Hi,
I wanted to ask if its possible to run formula while editing a certain field?

Hi,
Formula runs on the Back-end side of code. You need to specify such logic via Front-end side with javascript by developing your own view for the desired field.

Hi,

As Maximus correctly points out, formula is a back end facility, essentially a user friendly way to create "before save" hooks through the GUI without having to write PHP code.

Another possible way to accomplish what you want is to use the dynamic handler class.

Even though the class objective is described mainly as a superior way to manipulate form elements, it can easily be adapted to perform complex data operations.

Check these links, hopefully they can help you.
