Add Subform Field based on Record Field

Add Subform Field based on Record Field

Hi All,

I am struggling with finding a solution that can populate a subform field based on an existing field on the record.

Use case is I have added Current Exchange Rate on a quote as a custom field, I then have a subform with Quoted items that include the products. What I would like is a line item added to the products in the subform called Exchange Rate that is populated by the main record field Current Exchange Rate. Each time I add a product the exchange rate is automatically added (and referenced from the custom field on the record).

note* I am aware of the multi-currency feature on Zoho CRM however this needs to be set on each record at the time and not change as it does using the Company settings > currency.

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure.

                                                              Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.

What we'd really love is to be able to query Learn via API so that in Zoho Projects, Zoho Creator, or Zoho Desk, we can recommend relevant Learn articles and manuals to team

I have an enterprise license, but I only get 10 lookups. Additionally, the custom module has been available for a while and is still in diapers. If you want good reporting, you
