How to build a button that increments the value of a field by two percent of the current value

#1

And decrement :wink: I think this would be practical because it is somewhat logarithmic, but I am struggling with the filter.

#2

Give this a try:

<$edit-text field="value"/>
<$button>{{$:/core/images/chevron-up}}
   <$action-setfield value={{{ [{!!value}multiply[1.02]] }}}/>
</$button>
<$button>{{$:/core/images/chevron-down}}
   <$action-setfield value={{{ [{!!value}multiply[0.98]] }}}/>
</$button>

Enter an initial value into the input field (e.g., 1.00). Then press the up/down buttons to increment/decrement the current value.

enjoy,
-e

Ahhh! Thank you. My Thoughts were too compicated.

\procedure setplus()
<$action-setfield $field="value" $value={{{ [<act>add<percent>] }}} />
\end

\procedure setminus()
<$action-setfield $field="value" $value={{{ [<act>subtract<percent>] }}} />
\end

<$let act={{!!value}} percent={{{ [<act>divide[100]multiply[2]] }}}>

|tc-table-no-border|k
| Value:|<$edit-text field="value" />|
| Modify:|<$button actions=<<setplus>> >+2%</$button><$button actions=<<setminus>> >-2%</$button>|

</$let>

Although Eric was quicker (as expected), here’s my try.
Sorry for being too late.

My intention was also to show the different elements for this case, which can be easily combined in a later, advanced stage - like Erics solution is.
