Hi. I've created an envelope template using a number of Checkboxes. Each Checkbox has been given a value. Is it possible to create a Formula Field that uses the value within a Checkbox against a Number Field?

Hi ​@Premier Paper Commercial,

Welcome to the Docusign Community—we're grateful for your question and happy to share our knowledge!

We understand your interest in using checkbox values within your formulas. There are similar Questions I found, for your reference:

👉Formula based on numberr of checked CheckBoxes

👉Conditional Logic for Signature based on # of Checkboxes Selected

Unfortunately, checkbox values in formula fields are not supported. However, there is a workaround you can implement using conditional logic and text fields. This involves relating a conditional text field to each checkbox, allowing their values to be incorporated into formulas. These text fields can be formatted with white font to remain invisible to signers during the signing session. Here are helpful resources:

📌Define a Conditional Field

📌Edit Field Properties

Here's a step-by-step approach:

  • Add an additional conditional text field to each of your checkboxes. Configure these fields as Read-only and assign them a value of when the corresponding checkbox is selected. To ensure they are not visible on the document, set their font color to White from Field Properties. You might name them descriptively, such as "Checkbox1," "Checkbox2".
  • Add a formula field that calculates the desired value from these conditional text fields.
