Hello Yoshida-san,

The following is an example code of when you want to add values in two text fields and input the sum of them into the third text field.

Field Code:  
Text 1 = A  
Text 2 = B  
Text 3 = SUM

```
(function () {
"use strict";
kintone.events.on(['app.record.create.submit', 'app.record.edit.submit'], function (event){
var record = event.record;
var Text1 = Number(record['A'].value);
var Text2 = Number(record['B'].value);
var subTotal = Text1 + Text2;

record['SUM'].value = subTotal;

return event;
});})();

```

I think the key here is to add Number() on the text field value that you want to add,  
so the value inside the text field will be treated as number.

I hope this helps.
