Formula Error

  • February 12, 2024

Getting an error within a template that reads as:

The Tab formula is not valid. A number numerical tab LocalePolicy does not match the LocalePolicy of another number numerical tab in the same formula.

I am having trouble pinpointing which formula field is causing the issue - is there anywhere I can see more detail regarding the error or even where to resolve it? 

I’ve double checked and triple checked all formulas, and when I make edits, I’m allowed to save and close the template. 

 

Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @Emilymc,

 

Thank you for reaching back,  thank you for providing the Template ID, however, I  would need a copy of the template to determine which field has the error, the data at the backend shows that all of the fields have the same LocalePolicy, would it be possible for you to provide a copy of the template?

 

You can download templates from your account, either one at a time or in bulk. When downloading a single template, it will be exported in JSON format. If you download multiple templates, they will be delivered in a .ZIP file containing JSON files. Download templates

If you Save as Template, the envelope that was successfully created using the Powerform and try to use that template, do you get the same error?

Hello,

 

I am also getting the LocalePolicy error message, as shown by an earlier user, both using a value box and a text box with number validation. I am trying to create a bracketed formula, but this is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @Lucas van Dijk,

 

Thank you for reaching out here, we want to welcome you to the DocuSign Community, I appreciate you bringing your question to this Community.

 

I apologize for the inconvenience that this might cause you, I understand that you have a user that you are getting the LocalePolicy error message.

 

If this is a template would it be possible for you to provide a copy of the template?

 

To download a document from a template, navigate to the TEMPLATES page. Locate the desired template and click on its title to open the Template Details view. In the documents panel, click on the document thumbnail image to initiate the download. Use the browser controls to download or print the document PDF if it opens in a browser window. To download a document from a template

 

Or at least a template with a blank document with the formulas that you used.

 

Can you also provide the Envelope ID and the template ID?

 

Let us know if you need further assistance with this.

Hello,

I’m having this issue as well. I’ve reviewed all my formulas and it seems to be correct. 

Here’s my template ID - 45c9cf0c-e8cc-459a-8956-6af2e5648353 and account number - #120026524.

 

Appreciate your help!
