Zoho Writer and Zoho CRM Integration

Zoho Writer and Zoho CRM Integration

Novice user here.  With the help of Zoho team we created a button in our custom module that with the click of the button, it will create & email pdf of a prep sheet document from the various fields/values in our CRM.   At the suggestion of Zoho, I've made the document in Zoho Writer where it's mapped a ton of fields from Zoho CRM.  

I've gotten the Deluge code to work, however if a variable''s value is blank in CRM , function will either throw an error or still create/email the the Mail Merge doc template with all the field mapping exposed (won't merge any of the 50+ fields).  Can anyone help out this novice user? 

What I want to happen is for the document to still be created/emailed and merge whatever values are available (there are a bunch of variables we noted in the code).  The other fields that do not have value, leave empty.   I don't know what to use in Deluge to make this requirement work.

Thanks all!

I understand Zoho Books uses FIFO method of dealing with inventory costing, but do you guys have any plans to introduce average costing? We indians need average costing. It's part of our culture. Please. I beg thee. Thanks.

Alternatively, can I set members to automatically inherit the values of the parent? For example: We have a chain of supermarkets that buy our products. These supermarkets are all members of a Parent Account in our CRM. We release a new product and all of the member stores wish to

Every time I enable the legend, I get a very unhelpful (1), and when I try to type to change to what I would desire, nothing happens, which is very frustrating. I've gone through your online tutorials and nowhere can I find a legend settings button. This seems a simple fix, where can edit the legend? Thanks.

Is there any way to increase this? It would be great
