Any way to conditionally change CSS styles in a custom record summary template?
Hello, I have a record summary that includes fields that come from a related form. Each record in the first form may or may not have a related record from the second form. Now our client wants us to hide the fields from the related form if the first record doesn't have a related record. I tried using a formula field that returns "display: none;" or "display: block;" to insert CSS styles into the record summary, but when I view the record summary, the CSS is removed. Is there any way to use field
Using Functions in Record Summary?
I'm trying to get the record summary of Record Type A ("Players") to e.g. show the sum or count of all entries in a field in a connected Record Type B ("Games"), so that I can show the total wins that player has made, or total games they have played. I can access the field (e.g. ${Record_a_Match_Date_of_Match.They_Won_the_Match}), and it returns a comma-seperated list, but I can seem to perform any functions on it (e.g. sum(${Record_a_Match_Date_of_Match.They_Won_the_Match})). Is this possible?

Fetch all values from a single record
Hi, I would like to fetch all values from a single record but can't figure out the exact way. At the moment I have: det = Addresses[ID = input.Delivery_Address]; input.Address_Details= det.Account_Name + " " + det.Address_Line_1 + det.Address_Line_2 + det.City + det.City + det.County + det.Country; What I would like is something like: input.Address_Details = det.getall(); Where "getall()" returns every field values for that specific record in my Addresses form. I'm guessing it's something simple

href to popup using "zc_LoadIn=dialog" - and getting back to main page!
Hi Zoho, I use "zc_LoadIn=dialog" to open a form in a popup windows from an html page. this works great, BUT- after submitting the form is popping up again, blank, for another use. I need that after submitting (or canceling) the form, the user will be redirected to back to the html page (after a refresh). Reading this forum, I figured this could be done using "zc_NextUrl" -adding zc_NextUrl=#Page:parent_page_name gets me to the form I need, but empty (I have an ID specified for edit mode in the
Using the Multi Select Field results in a Lookup Feild

Variable formdata for a row from a form
I need to write deluge script to send emails. the input.formdata variable won't work because this is not the "on add" / "on edit" actions... So the email body is to contain all data from a certain row in FORMA for example: FORMA[ID == 251445568000066556].formdata The email body is to contain all field names and values from that certain row where [ID == 251445568000066556]. How can this be realized in a deluge script? Is there a way to simulate form submission? Thanks.

Changing Application Owner
Hi folks, I'm developing an application for an organization where I'm an intern. I created the application on my own Zoho account and have successfully shared it with the other staff. Since my internship will be over soon, I need to transfer ownership of the application to another staff member's account -- and I also don't want everyone typing my name in the URL long after I'm gone, heh. Any guidance? Do I need to get a Zoho staff person to help? Thanks!
GDPR Compliance
Am looking into GDPR compliance regarding data we maintain using Zoho Creator. Although Zoho has published some info on: https://www.zoho.com/gdpr.html I've been looking into implications about certain types of data we maintain on Zoho Creator and my understanding is that we need to keep a log of any changes to data. ie If a record is changed a log should be kept of the old value of the field and date and time it was changed and user that changed it. My question is is there is system-wide setting
subform writing to another form
I am creating an inventory system for a lending library of recording equipment. It starts with a parent form for selecting the user borrowing equipment, and in a subform a lookup field pulls the item number from the equipment inventory form. I'm trying to update the availability of each item loaned in the inventory on_success of the parent form. I can get the first item selected in the subform to update to the inventory form, but not the second, third, etc. Below is my workflow that is not working.

images display fine...until I generate a page's PDF
I have an app which has lots of images (photos, logos, signatures, etc.) and the all seem to display fine on all my reports, forms and Pages. BUT when I click the "PDF" button on a page, the resultant PDF file shows a blank box. Printing the Page is fine and the image gets printed out, so the problem seems to be with the PDF button.

Backup Schedule
I am a Zoho One subscriber. How do I create a backup schedule of an app I created with Creator? I read in other threads that this is only supported in the Enterprise edition while here https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/application/application-backup.html It says "it's supported only in Professional Edition and above". Not only do I find your editions totally confusing but I also find that Zoho does not provide a resource where it clarifies all the editions you offer PLUS all the features included
Trouble getting total of fields in subform.
Hey! I've got a form that has a subform called "project worksheet". That subform has a row with 2 fields (length and width) that get multiplied together, and then divided by a number, the answer (sheet usage) is then displayed on that row also. I need to get a total of every "sheet usage" field, displayed on the main form. What I have is mostly right, however the answer that is displayed on the main form appears to be the sheet usage from the first line of the subform, multiplied by the number of
zoho creator wish list
Hi fellow creator user, I'm been designing with Creator on and off for some time now and invested a fair amount of time to appreciate the feature and functionality of the software. Overall it is simple to design a functional business application, with most of the critical features (field actions, scheduler, deluge) covered or with workarounds (adding a button on a report/stateless form is clumsy). However, there are a few things I cannot do without to make the applications competitive in the marketplace.

Sticky Group Header In List View [Feature Request]
Hello, I would like to thank the devs for refining the app while waiting for C5... An additional improvement would be to have the group header being sticky. When there's a large number of rows in many groups, you can feel lost when scrolling up or down and not being able to identify what you see (lost context). Sticky group header would help. I made a little video showing the feature. Thanks for taking into consideration. Best Regards, Thierry C.
Record Summary with live links to bidirectional lookup entries
In the normal table view report, forms that have bi-directional lookup can display associated records with links to the related form views (image 1). This allows a user to click and see the details in the related form. I would like to be able to have this same functionality in the custom record summary, but all I get is static text for the same related fields (image 2). Is this possible?
Can't add or change record summary using form definition?
Hello, I am trying to copy all changes from one app to to another (the first app is used for testing new features, and the second app is actually used by the users). I have some record summaries that I want to copy to the second app, but when I enter one into the Form Definition script and save, the changes are not saved. I would very much like to avoid remaking these in the editor because they aren't small (and I hate using drag-and-drop editors). Is there any way to copy or modify the record summaries

Make creator app lookup customer details
Hey Everyone. I have a call out company and when we get a call out I select the company calling us and start typing in information such as the response client As we visit the same client sometimes numerous times through the life of this app, what I am hoping to be able to do is start typing the client and it will give me a dropdown to select from and IF we have the client in the system it will auto fill the address for me.

Populate form with CRM Contact data?
Greetings, I'm trying to populate this form (attached) with CRM Contact data. I am a Zoho One customer (paid) which means I have the Enterprise editions, so it's not an account limitation. I'm working strictly with deluge scripts. I can default the Email field like this: input.Email = zoho.loginuserid; My goal is to get the first and last names and default the Zoho_CRM field from the corresponding CRM contact record using this script: crmContactRecord = zoho.crm.searchrecordsbypdc("Contacts","email",zoho.loginuserid);
is it possible to change a decision box (boolean) value displayed in a report?
Right now, all decision box values displayed in reports appear as either "true" or "false". I'd like to map those to something other than that (just as a display feature; not functionally in the data). You know, display "Yes" or "No", or "Y" or "N", etc., instead of true and false. Possible? If so, how? Thanks, bruce
Customize form style with CSS (not for published forms)
I am using Zoho Creator to run a Word Order database application and would like to know if it's possible to customize the layout of the form. I keep reading that you can customize a published from but that's not what I am looking for. I know you can go to Settings > Customize but this only allows me to choose from pre-built layouts. The other thing I discovered is the option to set the form to single or double column in the screen where you can edit the form but this also is limited. I would like
Composite Keys?
I have just established a ZOHO account, and am in process of familiarizing myself with ZOHO Creator. My object is to create a database application to track my library of sheet music. I have several hundred pieces of brass quintet sheet music arrangements to track. First, I need to identify each one. But the title, by itself, is insufficient for this. I have determined that there are three data elements necessary to identify each piece. None of them are sufficient to uniquely identify a piece by itself,

Duplicate button swaps ID with original record
Lets say I a have a record with a couple attributes: ``` { name: "John Doe"', address: "123 Main Street", } ``` Zoho assigns this record a unique ID that is 19 digits long for example: 1810278000027362038 I call the API to download the data and it give me this: ``` { name: "John Doe"', address: "123 Main Street", ID: 1810278000027362038 created_at: "2018-1-1 12:30:45" modified_at: "2018-1-1 12:30:45" } ``` Now I want to duplicate the record and change the address of the new record that is created.
