For continuous sum, you have max value and an over trigger, and a value must equal max.

When the total is over the max, a custom error message is generated as it should.

However, when all the fields have been entered and the total is *below* the must equal value (e.g., total fields must equal 100%), there is no inpage error message. Instead, an “error on this page” flag comes up when clicking on next page. There is no indication of the error, and the continuous sum fields are not even highlighted, so the user has no idea what caused the error.

The must equal max should trigger the inpage custom error message when the total is *below* the max as well as above.

I agree. I won’t be able to roll that out as quickly as most fixes becuase it relies on Javascript (which requires a great deal of cross browser testing).

However I’ll start working on it.

Also given any max value > 100, even if I have not checked the

“The answers for this question *must* equal the max total.” option

I still get the “error on this page” flag unless my total sum is < or = 100.

I have to say that this is very frustrating given that I’m considering paying $50/month for this very feature!

The continuous sum feature doesn’t seem to be working in conjunction with the “auto format as currency” option.

If you check this survey:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/54672/test-survey-2

The second question is a continuous sum with the max set at 100 and the must equal max box checked. I can enter any numbers I want in there. It doesn’t appear to be checking anything. If I uncheck the autoformat option, then it works to not allow it to go over the max, but allows you to submit less than the max.

There is a bug currently listed for some browser incompatibilities and auto-format quirks with continuous sum questions… I’ve added the extra notes you provided as well as some extra information from some testing. Thanks much.

Keep an eye on the change log for updates.
