James and John, I stand corrected, we do have a debugging tool. I simply forgot about it because I’m used to the old-fashioned way of doing this but you have both inspired me here.  You can find the tool under Customize>>>Display to “Enable Debug Tracing”. When you run an action with this turned on it should give ...

 Thanks Val.  Makes perfect sense.

 Hi James, Yes, Method is capable of handling nested conditional statements. Give it a try and I’m sure you will find it works as you hope. You are right, the Actions reference guide does not explicitly state that conditional statements can be nested but it also does not state that they cannot be nested.

To me it could be a simple as adding actions to the text change even of the item dropdown list to do “basic math” and then “Enter Value Into Field On ...

LaCrews, I have seen the default grids on most of columns size change.  If i go into field services, estimates,  the item column is so small but then when you try to enter data in it it expands out after i choose a item. I am using firefox as well. As far as font changes or font size, it has never changed for me.  I have made ...

Michael, Works great, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks, John M

The debugging sounds good to me. I was working on a few actions and was wondering the same thing. Thanks, John M
