How do you get the value of a lookup field instead of the record number
I using the value of a lookup field on a form in another formula on the same form and instead of the value being placed in the formula, the record number is placed there. The formula ---- input.Competitor + " - " + input.Media_Channel + " - " + input.Offer Competitor is a look up field on this form from another form/table. When this formula runs, I get the following result 3444267000000037515 - House File - 20% Off All Men's Wear I get the record #, not the value in the field. How do i fix this?

How to show records from Zoho Reports in a paging table/grid?
I am trying to use Zoho Creator (ZC) to allow a user to select a range of criteria and return a list of records. These records, however, are not stored in my app but in Zoho Reports (ZR).

Thanks!

I do not see the Notes field as an option for a subForm field. I was able to add it to the form field definition in code without error but it ignores the new field of type plaintext.

Can't Delete a Field from a Form
I'm trying to delete a couple of fields from a form, but when I try to delete the field, then I get a message saying that "This field is referred in the following places. Please remove them and then delete this field." and it gives a list of Views. However, the field is not included in any of the Views listed. The only connection I can see is that the Views are all based on the Form that contains the field I would like to delete. Can anyone suggest how I can get these fields deleted from the form?

Subform Shows No Records [ Resolved ]
My main for, "Lots", has a subform, "Residents". I created them both from an Excel file at the same time. I later decided that I wanted "Residents" to be a subform. Getting things to link up properly was difficult. At first, the subform showed no records. Using Deluge, I can fix this by editing each of the Lots records. This is a painstaking process. I have more data I want to bring in to make additional subforms. How can i do this so the linking works right away?
Best data storage / method to use with Zoho Creator
We have a large amount of data currently stored in Excel sheets, we would like to reference this data in Creator and we're looking for the best service/method to do this. Our stored data is fairly large (can be in excess of 100s columns and rows per sheet), split across multiple data-sets (sheets). We believe it is not suitable for storage within Creator because each data-set has a unique number of rows and columns that could not be easily laid out into a SubForm etc So instead, we are thinking

limited to 50 published forms/reports
I started building a custom CRM for a new client using a subscription at Enterprise level, but just learned that it's limited to only 50 published forms/reports (but there's nothing in the subscription pages that will tell you so) I've built similar apps for other clients in the past, without this limitation, so not sure when that change was made, but pretty crazy. I guess Creator is now being oriented for use by babysitters and softball teams, rather than businesses. Checked with customer support
Null displays on pages in phone app
I am having a problem where a page I have that display correctly through browsers on both desktops and phones, only displays as (null) through either the Creator app or the Creator Portal app. I'm not sure what is causing the problem because other pages seem to display without a problem in the app. I've tested it by taking the page down to it's bare bones with just the work 'Test' and it still displays as (null) in the app. The only thing I can think is that it has something to do with the location
