Hi richard, load evaluate only once when form is loaded, and with evaluate for each user interaction with the components. Cascading dropdown is a very good example, the first dropdown is in load and evaluates only once when the form is loaded, but second dropdown in with evaluate every time when user change the value in first dropdown. forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html

Hey Richard, check if this is useful. Load works the first time when the component/form is loaded. eg: =load(local!var2:1,load(local!var1:ri!input1,local!var3:var1+var2, a!formLayout(label:"",firstColumnContents:a!textField(label:"Test it", value:var3, saveInto:var1)))) In example the local!var3 is initialized once in inner load, and will only change if explicitly changed in the saveInto (which is not done). Thus the value never changes for new inputs. Now change replace inner load with 'with'. Then run it. You will see the value of local!var3 is computed every time you enter an input, That is with refreshes its initialization and runs functions/rules, every time a change occurs in any of its local values.
