I'm happy to announce that, as part of the Community Learning Initiative, we are starting a new series of articles on "Troubleshooting in Creator". The goal of the series is to empower the developer with information that could help him understand the possible causes for a perceived issue, and provide methods in which they can implement corrective steps for resolving the issue without external help. With this knowledge app builders can ensure faster resolution, and can approach support with more information if the issue persists.
Articles published are not intended as a comprehensive causal analysis but as a means for app builders to fix simple issues and rule out possibilities.
The content in the series is based on the experience of our customer facing and app development teams, taking into account commonly reported issues. We plan to have articles twice a month on generic as well as component specific topics. If you have any requests or suggestions for articles, please comment below. Do follow the series and post your feedback.
I am trying to troubleshoot a form workflow - on update of a field - in Zoho Creator. When I tried to use "alert" in the workflow but when saving the workflow, I received the following creator error message:
'ALERT' task can be used only in on load, on validate and on change actions
So, I tried to find an alternative to 'alert' (other than OpenURL()) that would show me the value of a field at runtime. I was not able to find any.
Can you please help me with identifying a simple alternative to 'alert' that is permitted in the 'on update of a field' workflow?
