    Can the options be assigned a calculation value? I'm building a form for students to order lunch and they can pick multiple choices. I need each choice to be assigned an amount and have the form calculate it at the end.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The Multiple Selection widget does not support Calculation Values yet, but you can use the Dropdown field, Enable Multiple Selections and Assign Calculation Values. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element button on the left, and click on the Dropdown field to add it to your form.
    2. Next, click on the Gear icon under the Dropdown field, and in the Dropdown Properties on the right, set your Dropdown Options.
    3. Enable the Calculation Values, and set the values for each option as needed.
    4. Then, click on the Advanced tab, and Enable the Multiple Selections option.
