We are excited to introduce the new Math calculations feature in forms and surveys, allowing users to add custom fields and set up a Calculator based on the fields in the form or survey.

The Score Editor supports **inline cursor edits** and **Arrow/Home/End** navigation for quicker changes. See **I****nline Cursor Editing (Score Editor)** for details.

### **Editing formulas with the cursor**

You can place the cursor anywhere in the expression to edit inline. Arrow keys move one character at a time; **Home** jumps to the start and **End** jumps to the end. Edits apply exactly at the cursor—no need to clear the entire formula.
