Zoho Forms CRM Field Mapping

Zoho Forms CRM Field Mapping

Using the Zoho CRM Field in Zoho Forms, there is no direct integration between the Zoho Forms Time field, and Zoho CRM.  We use this single field in most of our client-side forms to collect information. 

Initially reading this request, you might think that the Date-Time field would work as a workaround - however, it won't.  We collect information on various forms where the "date" is irrelevant and therefore confusing to the end-user if we ask for the date.

It works when we use the Forms Integration to write from the Form to the CRM field - however, when we send the form out for updating, the field does not write from CRM back into FORMS because the Zoho CRM Field does not have an appropriate field to map to.

In short - it would be helpful if you could develop a CRM Field type of "time" and make it available for mapping into Zoho Forms.
