Custom TaskList and Tasks creation based on project custom field

Custom TaskList and Tasks creation based on project custom field

Hello,
I'm trying to configure Zoho Project for a specific use. I have created a custom multiselection field in project template and I would like to create one tasklist with multiple tasks in it depending on the multiselection field on each project.
For each task, I would like to define the duration, end date and defined and owner of the project or specific person.

I plan to have one custom fonction per selection in the multselect field.

I already find how to execute a custom fonction based on the multiselection field update, how to create a simple task in to tasklist but impossible to create mutliple tasks in one tasklink using deluge.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks,
Sébastien

This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

                                                          Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

You can mask or customize the display name (From Address) using Deluge script as long as the From email address has been verified.

I did take a look at zapier however it just has a create Invoice function nothing else.
                                                                                                        • Connector working as expected but not when called from an extension

                                                                                                          I am playing around with building a Zoho CRM extension and seeing if anyone has some insight on the below issue I am facing. When I execute the Connector API it works as expected returning me the download URL for a merged document that has merged successfully.
                                                                                                        • Changing Data on Cancelled /Paused Subscriptions

                                                                                                          What's a good way to edit a cancelled subscription without reactivating it? There are some custom fields and data that we'd like to add to these but when we edit it, it reactivates it and creates an invoice. Also need to be able to do this for paused

                                                                                                          Is there a way for portal users to leave messages or notifications to licensed users?
