- Conduct an analysis of the current implementation of the "calculatedPrice" field and its interaction with formatting options.
The conditions for displaying the "calculatedPrice" field are the same as for other price fields:
- The "Price on request" checkbox is not selected
- The field "calculatedPrice" has a value
- The field "calculatedPrice" is added to the field list
- Identify the missing configurations or integrations that prevent the "approx." and "€" from displaying correctly with the "calculatedPrice" field.
I see that with other price fields when calling the API, it will automatically return the format: prefix + value of price field + currency
- Prefix: the value of the field Display of numerical values in Extras -> Settings -> Basic settings -> General -> Display of numerical values
- Value of price field: values are taken from the price field in Properties --> Prices/Areas
- Currency: get from the currency field in Properties --> Prices/Areas
There is currently no API support for retrieving data from the "Display of numerical values" field. If you still want us to display this, please provide me with the API so I can complete the task as soon as possible.
Here's a video demo: https://files.fm/u/8x3z9dz7kd#/view/2fyf9jmrvb
Currently, the API returns a value for the "calculatedPrice" field displayed differently from another price field.
I have reformatted the value of the "calculatedPrice" field to match the other price fields. Do you agree with this approach?
Note: Currently I can only display the value of the currency Please watch the video and let me know your opinion!

Integration of "calculatedPrice" field formatting with price fields
Introduction
calculatedPrice checks for the marketing type rent or purchase and then fills in the values of the field purchase price or rental price. This is particularly helpful for the output in the front end of the website, as you only have to add one field (calculatedPrice) and no longer have to add any dependencies for only displaying rental prices or only displaying purchase prices.
User Story
As a user of the onOffice for WP-Websites plugin, I sometimes rely on the "calculatedPrice" field to accurately display prices. The "calculatedPrice" field checks for marketing type rent or purchase and then displays the rental price or purchase price in the frontend. However, I've noticed that the formatting of "approx." and "€" symbol do not work as they do for other price fields. This inconsistency in formatting detracts from the overall user experience and may lead to confusion among users. We assume that is has something to do with the "calculatedPrice" field not being added with the other price fields.1
To ensure consistency and improve usability, I propose integrating the "calculatedPrice" field with the existing price fields.
By integrating the "calculatedPrice" field with the price fields, users will benefit from consistent and accurate formatting, enhancing their overall experience when working with calculated prices.
