A button to precalculate all formula fields

[telecastg]

Formula is a "user friendly" way to create back end hooks without regular php coding, so as yuri explained, it requires a record to exist.

If you are looking for a way to use calculated fields before a record exists you could create a dynamic handler for the entity and write your computation logic there instead of using formula.

You can learn about the dynamic handler class in these posts:

There's no point in this. When a record is created, formula is calculated upon creation. Before record is created, it's not possible to calculate anything.

Its will be very useful to have ability to calculate all fields which set with formula when a user creating new object. A button "Recalculate" near Save and Cancel buttons for example
