Has anyone had issues after creating a new form using an existing form as a template?
I needed to split one existing form into two so I thought it would be faster to create a new form using the existing one as a template then remove from the new form, all the fields I didn't want then do the same with the existing form. In other words I want split Form A into two forms Form A & Form B. So create Form B, using form A as the template. Remove fields I want to keep on form A from Form B and vice versa. Now the problem is that after I did that, I could only remove some of the fields

Fetch Records Help
I have been through several of the pages that describe how to fetch records from 1 form and use in another, but I still am having a problem. Here's the set-up: Form 1 collects the name of projects in Project_Name field Form 2 collects a list of tasks and due dates for various projects. Form 2 uses a look-up field to provide a drop-down of the Project_Name field from form 1 - in form 2, this field is labeled Project - below is the code, which is still returning a numeric value for Project_Name in
Zoho Creator report grouping record counts?

What has precedence when you need to hide/show fields on a zoho creator form
I am working on an enhancement to an existing application and reducing large form to a series of smaller forms. There is a lot of business rules that will mean that some fields will need to be hidden until certain values are set on the form, there are others that will result in fields being shown or hidden as the forms are progressed. Some will be set on forms as a result of other forms having certain status values. I know fields can be hidden using the automation rules and tasks also using the
Send subform data with posturl
Hi, Does anyone know how (or even if it's possible) to send data from a record that includes the related subform data to an external api using posturl or similar method? I need to populate my external accounting application with invoices and their related line items from my Creator app. I'm able to populate the invoice data correctly but I'm not sure how to get the related subform data (line items) over as well and can't seem to locate anything specific in the forum or help guides that demonstrates

Zoho creator, Deluge script very buggy
Hello, I'm relatively new to ZoHo creator. I was looking for a RAD tool in which some coding was possible. We also need the possibilty to make external calls. With the 'postUrl' function, all this seems possible. After two weeks now, I find myself continiously struggling with the internal mess of Zoho or Deluge: - scripts crash, without having the possibilty to catch the errors; - loops in scripts suddenly crash at random points with non-informative error messages. These crashes seem to be caused
Run out of list fields and need to add more to a form.
I'm working on an existing zoho creator application for client and they have 84 list type fields. Now the information I have found on the help system is that there are know problems with having more than 30 list type fields on a form. Now I notice that you can add html code to a note field, so would it be possible to create a drop down list and radio buttons list using html in that field and once a value is selected copy that selected value top a zoho form field to be saved when the form is submitted
Convert Rich Text to Multi Line
Is anyone aware of a way to convert a rich text string to plain text such that it doesn't contain all the formatting html markup? Here is the situation: Users enter notes into a note field. Upon saving the form, any new notes are copies from the notes field (rich text) to a multi line field (for use in a downstream system). The problem is that when the notes are copied to the multi line field, the multi line field now contains all sort of rich text html markup for the formatting. Example: <p style="background-color:
Creator IDE
Hello All, Firstly sorry to ask such a basic question, just starting out. I am beginner with creator and have been trying to check out how the sample inventory application code has been set up.

Hi, As a workaround to the issue of Insert scripts not triggering Zapier actions, I'm trying to update a form with data from another form via email as suggested by Damien in this post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/community/topic/trigger-zapier-on-deluge-insert-into-function but unfortunately I can't seem to get a syntax that Deluge likes.

I would very much appreciate help with the following: I have two forms: Inscripci_n and Movimientos. In the form Inscripci_n there is a decision field (Julio 2018).

google calendar invite notifications
Hi - I've successfully used deluge to create a google calendar event. https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/script/create-event-in-google-calendar.html However, it just shows up on my calendar without seeing the notification in my inbox. I need people to see it to respond. This is especially important because some of my participants are outside my gapps domain, and as you know it won't create the event unless it's on a google calendar. Per this google page: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/concepts/reminders#overriding_default_reminders
Creator big files integration ?
I do not figured it out by now, how you can connect Zoho Creator with some file services like Google Drive or Dropbox. I am working in a small company with not so much users <10, so the free 5GB for files are a bit limited. Unfortunately we handle a lot & bigger files for large format printing. So this quota could be easily reached sometimes in 2-5 months. Perfect would be in total around 200-400 GB. Even if Zoho wants that every one is using Zoho Docs how can there an integration been achieved?
postUrl crashes when service returns error 500
Hi, I'm seeing a lot of postUrl-issues here. So I'll add mine: When doeing a postUrl, and the service returns an error 500, the script stops running with an Execution Failed / Error due to - 'Internal Exception' Line:(38). Viewing the returned data in soapUI, it shows that the service returns HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error, along with a XML messages, containing the error message. Apparently, ZOHO does not know how to deal with these kind of messages and at that point the script crashes. For no good reason.
Only allow submit if subform rows added
In a main form I have a numeric field. I would like to require user adds the same number of subform rows as the value of this field. For example, if the number field value is "3", there must be 3 subform rows added to the main form before user can submit. Is this possible?
Need Help with Conditional Formatting
I am having problems with conditional formatting on Zoho Creator 5. Everything works well on the computer but on the phone or pad it doesn't seem to work.

Importing data to a subform?
I have a link to the old help page on sub form import/export https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/forms/creating-subforms.html#Import_Subform_Data Is there a new help document for import/export of subforms in Zoho 5? I was hoping just exporting some dummy data as Excel from my report would produce an example of what my mutl-sheet Excel should look like for import ... but I just get the subform information inside a cell as comma separated info, no second sheet to help work out what to do.

Assign different labels and values to dropdown items
Is it possible to assign a value that's different than the label displayed to the user? Specifically, I need to pass on some values to an API and they need to be in a specific format. For example, in a dropdown for form of payment, if the user selects Credit card then the value passed on to the API should be credit_card. I would prefer not to display the dropdown items like this, only pass the correct values. The only way I can think of is with a variable and an if statement. If user selects Credit
Set Lookup value from Single Line input value
Hi, I wonder whether it's possible for Lookup value to mirror value filled in Singe Line value ? I'm trying to build a lookup function for certain value, it works, but when I fill the data, it shows all the records which will contain private information and based on information I got, we can't hide the shown records. So I just wonder if Lookup value could mirror the Single line value while I hide the Lookup field. I tried using input.Lookup = input.Singe_Line; but doesn't work because BIGINT and
Comments in Workflows
The new workflow builder is amazing! It would be nice though to have a notes field, so I can leave a comment like I can in deluge. Just like with code, it's difficult to remember why a particular workflow rule was put in place when you have lots of workflows. While it's great to be able to easily click some buttons to make powerful workflows, right now I have to keep a separate document that tells me what the reason was that I put the workflow in place.
