However there is no value in a button, thus cannot be used as a condition trigger in displaying the quote. * It would be great if a button has a value so if clicked, shows the insurance with its own conditions set. * Thanks. * [debasti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debasti/) * (@debasti) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024846) * Sounds interesting for me too! * Plugin Contributor [David Cramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desertsnowman/) * (@desertsnowman) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024847) * Let me take a think on it and see what I can do. * [debasti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debasti/) * (@debasti) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024849) * That button can be a big deal… I don’t want think soooo large but I have many ideas for that! * As a solution for the problem here: is it thinkable to use a normal “next page” button with the name: “calc your quote NOW” and show the calculated value on next page? As workaround till the next update…? * Thread Starter [rameesareno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rameesareno/) * (@rameesareno) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024854) * A simple button value would make this possible so in the conditions it can be set as an if button is value. * * Quotes are best displayed on the same page since its a short one. * Thanks. * Plugin Contributor [David Cramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desertsnowman/) * (@desertsnowman) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024867) * Added to the current dev version on the github repo. When adding a condition to a field, if you select a field that is a button of type button (not submit etc) you’ll have the option on click or dblclick.

However its not working that way now, if you click it, does nothing and total quote will only show up once you click the get button and tick the checkbox. * The condition does not include the tickbox, rather the get quote (button) is clicked condition. * How can we correct this? Seems the clicked condition is not connecting. * Plugin Contributor [David Cramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desertsnowman/) * (@desertsnowman) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024924) * ye I think I messed something up in the last update. I’m sorry. Let me confirm and get back to you on it. * [Miguel Bárcenas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barcenashm/) * (@barcenashm) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-trigger-1/#post-6024973) * Hi there David, * Did you get a solution for this? I have the same problem.I’m trying to make the button trigger the calculation, instead of the autocalculation, because it makes the field filling slow. * [http://www.bossconsultores.mx/index.php/prueba/](http://www.bossconsultores.mx/index.php/prueba/) * This is my case. Even with the calculation in the NEXT-PAGE, the field named Dimensiones aprox.(M2) crashes. I suppose that the complexity of the equation is what makes this happen. How can I fix it???
