I have a
field that contains schedules. A record can contain many schedules. A typical
record is used to illustrate my problem:
When this field's content is displayed in a REPORT, it looks like this :
06h00, 07h00, 08h00, 09h00, 10h30, 11h30, 13h00, 14h00, 15h00, 16h00, 17h30,
03h15, 05h00
All fine. The values are separated by
comma+space.
When this field's content is displayed in a CUSTOMIZED RECORD SUMMARY IN A
TABLE, it looks like this :
06h00,07h00,08h00,09h00,10h30,11h30,13h00,14h00,15h00,16h00,17h30,03h15,05h00
Not fine. The values are separated by comma
only, so the text does not wrap and it screws up the design.
When this field's content is displayed in a CUSTOMIZED RECORD SUMMARY JUST AS
FIELD, it looks like this :
06h00
07h00
08h00
09h00
10h30
11h30
13h00
14h00
15h00
16h00
17h30
03h15
05h00
Not fine. The values are separated by a line
return, it screws up the design.
My question is addressed to the developers / employees of Zoho : Why do you not
provide a means of controlling the list value separator of a field in reports
and summaries by including options in the field's settings (in the form) ? This
is REALLY missing.
…or at least render a list the same way in RECORD SUMMARY as it is done in
REPORTS : comma+space. Comma only is no good.
Note : The solution of patching by hard-coding a line of code allowing to
display the list in another field is not good. At least not for me since I have
the same issue with various other fields and do not wish to hard-code the names
of those fields in various patching codes hiding fields and displaying data of
a field in another. Not good.
