Calculation Field Value

A calculation field value consists of its value property of type string or number. The value can be a plaintext string ('Example text'), a rich-text string containing Markdown/ HTML ('# <span style="color: red">Red</span> Headline') or a number (123.456)

Calculation field values are always calculated by the server and therefore cannot be provided to record creation or update endpoints.
