So I am working on a CMS for an NGO. There is a custom module I created - DLA (Daily Living Activities), which have the staff rate their candidate’s emotional status based on a few standard questions. All of the fields in the module use the same dropdown menu. How can I sum up all of these values so I get a final score/rating.
I have attached a screenshot for your review.
