<input type="text" name="attr_rangedrange4"> <input type="text" class="sheet-center" name="attr_rangedrange4_quick" value="@{rangedrange4}" disabled="disabled"> if rangedrange4 is set to "20ft" it reads as "20". If it is set to "20/60ft" it reads as "0.33333". Other fields for instance weapon names can be set to "Greatsword" and the reference field will show "Greatsword". Though if the initial field is set to "Greatsword 2" then the reference field becomes "2". Could you please fix this so we can reference the text & numbers of other fields?

Autocalc fields strip out all non-numeric characters (which are not operators or functions). They are meant for math only.

Brian said: Autocalc fields strip out all non-numeric characters (which are not operators or functions). They are meant for math only. It doesn't strip out all characters. It only strips out characters if there is a number. Seemingly that should only happen for input type="number" and not for text fields. Without being able to reference another input it makes being able to display "quick info" on the main page very difficult.

Without being able to reference another input it makes being able to display "quick info" on the main page very difficult. We may be able to add another "type" of field to do this, but as Brian said currently the "disabled=true" indicates a calculating field and calculating means the result will the coerced to a number. If there is no number present you are probably getting an error in your console log (so basically it's silently failing). I'm going to close this since it isn't actually a bug. Feel free to make a suggestion for a new type of field that can just re-print values from other fields, though.
