No Way To Programmatically Update Zoho Project Fields

No Way To Programmatically Update Zoho Project Fields

I love that custom functions can be built in the CRM.

The custom triggers in Zoho Flow work well enough to update Tasks, Milestones, Bugs, etc. in Zoho Projects. However, it's extremely frustrating that there's no way to update the Project itself or access custom fields for Projects.

The only options for zoho.projects in custom functions are:
  • Get Project Details - a list of all project names and Ids
  • Get Records - a list of all of one type of record (task, bug ,etc.) for a certain project
  • Get Record by Id - a record of one type of record (task, bug, etc.) for a certain project
zoho.projects.update also requires a record type.

Why would it be built this way? 

My use case is relatively straight forward. I want to make date timestamps of when the Project moved to different Statuses.

Does anyone have a workaround?
