Hello Zoho community,

 

I'm new to Zoho, but certainly not new programming. Unfortunately, I have a hard time figuring out how Zoho could be used for creating any kind of application given the limitations I have seen so far in the level of flexibility of how views and forms can be mixed and the fact formulas don't update themselves as they should when lookup fields are involved, thus creating a large need for (OnInput) code, which is a far cry from the promise of drag and drop design, and requires potentially out of sync duplicate data. Just the fact that subviews are considered an extra feature for premium users feels almost childish (further underlined by the smiley icon that pops up for default users). Subviews are in my opinion not even a graphically complete concept since they always put everything on one row.

 

Can somebody tell me if it's even possible for a cell in a "regular" view to link to a form where that data can be edited?
