Community Discussions
Zoho Developer Forum
- @Rodger's back with another deluge gem! Updating multiple records at a time obviously saves time, but there are certain limitations that come along with it. Check out this well-written snippet of code designed to allow you to not only mass-update records, but also update multiple fields combined with logic and calculations while doing so.
- Sometimes, all that's needed is a tiniest clue to solve the biggest mystery. @Rich faced an issue with a snippet of code he'd written to work with his CRM blueprint, but this bug didn't hold him back from reaching out to his peers for help on the forum. @Rodger and @Ishwarya SG came through to try and fix his issue.
- We do love a good conversation on Client Script. It is a great way to bend CRM to work by your rules. Unfortunately, Client Script has a few rules of its own. @WM Yeo needed help bending those, and help didn't take too long to arrive!

- Each business or industry faces its own unique set of hurdles. It's no different when it comes to CRM requirements. Client Script is one of the easiest ways to mold CRM to fit a business' needs. Check out how Client Script came to the rescue for each of these unique CRM needs of our community members.
- When @Buddy needed to set a default value in a currency field
- When @Arijit needed to fetch a user's real-time location
- When @Sunny needed help filtering a lookup field based on a field value
- One of the best things to see is experienced community members coming together to help someone get acquainted with the Zoho ecosystem. Helpful community members give @Sunny two solutions for her requirement - one with code and one without! Check out the information-loaded discussion here!
- Using APIs can be a little tricky, especially when dates and specific formatting come into play. When Deepa needed help using a date filter while performing API calls, Chetan and Pranit lent a helping hand by fixing her code and also leading her to helpful documentation. Check out the conversation here!
