Formula from Classic Designer not working in New Designer

Forms Version 11 Forms Layout Designer

asked on October 2, 2025 • Show version history

I'm building an existing Forms process into the new designer. A formula that I used in the classic designer doesn't seem to work in the new designer. I have successfully created a single field that combines the multiple field values into it:

 

But when I try to reference that combined field in order to grab the first 5 characters, I'm getting an error.

I don't understand why. This formula worked fine in the classic designer.

So I changed the formula in the "Charge Number Table Multi-line" field to:

     =INDEX(ChargeNoTable.ChargeNoTableItem, 1)

and it now works! Thanks to MCCi for helping me troubleshoot this.

Are you reusing existing variables from your old classic form?

Can you try to remove the formulas, save the form, refresh, and re-add the formulas?

I'm unable to reproduce the issue, but I only have LF12 and Cloud available to me
