Calculated property: Fix error for blank fields

Calculated properties are great to combine different factors e.g. revnue into one distinct data field.

 

However, it was very unclear to me and the team that leaving a field blank prevents properties from calculating. This should be fixed in one the following ways:

 

1: Give an error message so the user understands why it doesnt calculate.

2: Calculate the field without the number e.g. when this is a sum.

3: Default to 0 when the field is left blank or ask the user when creating the property what the default should be.

 

Thanks!

Amen to that - I was looking for an option to that either allows me to set a number property to "0" by default or simply treat an empty field as "0" in order to still run a calculation.

 

Instead now I'm setting up a WF that sets my empty number fields to 0 - seems unneccesary busy work...
