Function #40: Update Contact with Product details from it's Related list in Deals
Welcome back everyone! The last custom function showed how to update records in the Accounts module with information in records from Custom Modules. This week, let's look at a function that lets you update a Contact record's subform with Product details. The information from the records in the Products related list of Deals module is copied to the subform in the Contact record. Business scenario: A typical business process flows like this: Leads -> Contacts -> Accounts -> Deals -> Contacts. If you're
set text field to null or empty
i have a custom text field with length 36 (to store a GUID) ... i used the mass-update feature of the CRM to "clear out" the values from some records ... now they contain a dash ("-") when i load them up in reports or views, but on the view the field shows empty. wtf? i've tried several different varieties of code to clear this out, with no positive results: #1 xmlData=<Potentials><row no="1"><fieldlabel value="MyField"><![CDATA[]]></fieldlabel></row></Potentials> #2 xmlData=<Potentials><row no="1"><fieldlabel
Highlight results on the search page
Hi, When I do a search using the global search text box, I can't exactly see where the results are on each page: I can only see on which page I can find them. So I have to go inside all pages to see where the results are. Besides, the Ctrl/Command F function doesn't work inside the pages. Is there a way we can highlight the results directly on the search page? Thanks
Mass update - only 100 records?
I have around 23 000 Contacts and I need to do Mass Update on them after selecting the criteria. Because of the pagination the checkbox next to the header selects only 100 records, as I'm assuming? Shouldn't this checkbox be selecting all records that match the criteria? What if I have 10 000 records I want to change, I need to do 100 repetitions of my task, not really "mass" isn't it?
Does sync with Google Tasks still exist?

Creating a new module
Hello all, I am trying to create a work order module on zoho crm.

Is that possible? If so, how do I go about doing it? Thank you in advance.
Is it just me or is the New Forum Search Feature Useless!! Oldest posts showed first
Anytime I search for anything in Zoho CRM forums it shows the oldest posts first which are more often not very relevant. Search for "Custom Function #17: Auto-update tasks" (which is part of a title of a zoho post) and it does not even show! Search for "CRM Tips" within Zoho CRM forum and the first post shown is from 9 years ago. All the rest are at least 1-2 years old. Search "Lead Webform" and the first two posts are 6 years old followed by two that are 5 years old Same for the rest of the forums

How to create a Record in a Custom Module based on Multi Selection entry
Hi, we are evaluating whether to proceed with Zoho CRM after the trial and understanding how to customise it will be crucial. Given our various product lines, we would need to track them in dedicated custom modules. Leads will have one or more product lines ticked in a Multi Select field. Upon them reaching a certain Status, a function should create an entry in the dedicated Custom Module for each of the ticked product lines. I understand that this would have to be managed with a custom function,
Function-17: Auto-update tasks with details from related record modules.

Reduce entries in Pick List
I have inherited a form in the Accounts (we call it Companies) module. There are 24 choices in a custom Pick List for "Company Type". We would like to consolidate those down to 8. Will Zoho Creator be my only option? I'm an old-school programmer (COBOL, FORTRAN) and have been in software sales for over 10 years. So I'm a little rusty at programming, and nervous that if I pull the trigger on a script I'll whack our entire CRM database. Anyone have pointers on another way to atuomatically change

Why doesn't Mail Merge leave a record in the customer record?
Believe it or not we actually do write real letters - letter not emails - using Mail Merge in CRM. Believe it or not, the fact that we have done so isn't recorded in the customer record. When we brought this up with support, they seemed unable to comprehend that we were doing this. They kept referring back to "emails". Not talking about email. Talking about Mail Merge. You provide the facility, it seems incredible that sending a communication would not log as an activity. Very short sighted that

CRM for customer emails and Campaign for comercial email
Hi, We are trying to adapt the CRM to the new GDPR law. Our problem is the following: - The mass mailing of emails through the CRM is used to send emails to our clients related to the service they hire (not commercial emails). - We use Zoho Campaign to send commercial emails to Leads and Contacts. - In our web forms we have included the acceptance checkbox for commercial emails synchronized with the Email Opt out field in CRM. We found that there are contacts that become customers who have the Email
Task Due Date & Reminder Date in sync
Hi there, I can't find a way, and there doesn't seem to be a 'reminder' field on the API, to make sure that changing the due date either manually on each task or via mass update also trigger the changes to the 'reminder date'. So for example, I've got 2 tasks due tomorrow: I select them, mass update them to tackle them next Monday but the reminder stays as 'tomorrow' which doesn't make sense. Thoughts? Julien

V2 Bulk read data incomplete
I was using Bulk Read API to download all my modules as zip files. Until 24th May all the data was downloading correctly. But from 25th, all columns are not present in the downloaded zip files for most modules with lots of data. For example, 'Accounts' module in my account had 92 columns until 24th May. From 25th May onward the downloaded zip file of 'Accounts' module have only 49 columns. The number of rows remains same. Any idea what changed? I cant find any change in documentation.

Add Confirmation window to Blueprints Transitions
People click Transitions by mistake from time to time. It's once in a while, still in training when you move the mouse over any Transition you know that click it by mistake is hard to Undo. In our case to Undo a mistaken Transition clicked we need to go and create a "temporary" Transition to go back and then delete that "temporary" Transition, which requires to move all records in actual states to the new versions. So, it makes sense a simple "Ok/Cancel" window to confirm the Transition was clicked.
Functions to return id and update record
The idea is that we want to do the following: 1. We have a data import 2. Function is executed for each record in the import 3. Function gets a Contact_ID based on a different field (our own user_id that the incoming records will have) 4. Function returns the Contact_ID 5. Imported record is updated with Contact_ID I created the function but I can't return any data (says it's impossible with void functions but I can't change it). And in the workflow rules how can I use whatever function returns

Can't find some sent e-mails
I have used Zoho Mail through Chrome and things were going fine last months. However, I've just looked for some e-mails I sent hours ago and I can't find most of them.
