Hello there,
It would be great if Zoho Subscriptions offered Data Validation rules to validate the data entered while creating, editing, or cancelling subscriptions and to prevent users from performing specific actions.
We have a custom field for capturing "Serial #" of a physical product, and we want to prevent users from entering a serial # that doesn't exist (if a user mistypes the number), or one that's already being used by a different customer (if we have duplicate serial #'s). All of our serial #'s are being stored in a database we made in Zoho Creator. So ideally the validation rules would compare the user input with values in our Creator database via API. We can also make this work with inventory we have stored in Zoho Inventory.
I saw that Zoho Invoice has Data Validation rules and was disappointed to see that missing in Zoho Subscriptions. But since zSubscriptions is a derivative of zInvoice (I think), I don't think it should be too difficult to implement, right?
Thanks,
Josh

- Where are Kanban swimlanes- So i've been playing with Zoho Projects Kanban view a bit more. It appears that task lists are being used as the Kanban columns, which makes sense from the implementation point of view but not the logical one.  Kanban columns are statuses that a task can flow through, while a task list has been a logical way to organize related tasks and relate them to a mislestone. In other words a task in a particular task can go through several stages while remaining in the same task list. After doing some research
