Please, stop adding half-baked features to ZC, you're driving us crazy! Record template is amazing, but at the same time, useless in so many ways. Here's a basic scenario:
1. I have a Staff form with a relation to a Tasks form. Tasks are assigned to a Staff each.
2. On a regular basis, I want to email my users a list of
Status="critical" tasks they need to complete.
Stupid as it sounds with record template I can't:
- Filter records based on a field, so all the tasks will be included in the email and not just "
critical" ones
- Sort records based on a field, so all the tasks will be sorted by
creation dates and not
deadlines ?!?!?!?!?!
- Add a simple "view all tasks" or "edit task" html button to the email to redirect toward the #view ?!?!
- I can't even add the button myself in the record template and use a ${variable} to fill the href with the url because Zoho automatically deletes this format on save!!!
WHAT THE HELL ZOHO!?!?! You're supposed to be a low-freaking-code software but basic business workflow are impossible to create without having to write it yourself. What's the point on emailing records data if users can be redirect toward the data they need to act uppon?!
This is getting real frustrating. If you don't want to develop some feature its fine, but maaaaaan STOP DELETING MY CODE and let me use variables where I see fit. Right now, you're not just slowing me down, you're actually preventing me from doing any work.
I'm seriously considering dropping ZC.
