Total quantity field calculation

Updated: Dec 14, 2021

Many clients asked me this question:

How can I calculate the total quantity from child entity's quantity field

I am going to write the formula based on this structure:


This is the formula:


// Calculate the line "Total Price"
totalPrice = quantity * unitPrice;

// Calculate the parent order "Total Price"
ifThen(
    entity\isAttributeChanged('totalPrice'),
    
    $priceDiff= totalPrice - entity\attributeFetched('totalPrice');

    record\update(
        'Order', orderId,
        'totalPrice', order.totalPrice + $priceDiff
    );
);

Tell me in comments if this was helpful or if any question or suggesion

When do you use the above code instead of the "entity\sumRelated" function to re-calculate totalPrice in the Order entity?

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to understand your workaround.

I see that you have a price difference field to use for the comparison, but trying to understand why that is required. Also, you have two "totalPrice" fields in different tables, which adds to my confusion. 🤔

You are welcome,

To have live sum result will need custom view and some js code
