Can I use editable fields in formulas?

I try to link editable fields to a formula but get an error message - why?

If you choose to add a formula to your documents, you can only connect the specific calculation for it to other formula fields.

This means that basically, you need to replace editable fields with other formula fields, leaving their value empty:

The formula fields work in a similar way as editable fields.
The "Value or Formula" field can be left empty, which enables you to add the information that will vary from contract to contract.

As a recommended workflow, we suggest adding the input formula fields with empty values and using those in formula fields containing the calculations, as shown in the video above.
