Bugs: Zoho import changing field type from decimal to numerical, pivot table error when processing numerical/decimal field
I thought I resolved all the quirks around zoho creator's import function somehow 'creating' its own decimal data (see this post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/bug-zoho-import-create-app-from-xls-makes-too-long-a-decimal-from-number#2266000009001481 ), but it appears the issue is still around somehow. In trying to resolve this oddity with pivot table/chart reports: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/report-showing-a-decimal-form-field-as-single-line I decided just to
TOTAL NOOB - How do I create a drop down menu that opens a check mark form?
Hi there! Ok, so here's my wish: I have four brands of wine. Within those four brands there are a whole bunch of different types of wine (Cab Sauv, Merlot, etc). I'd like to be able to select a parent brand via drop down and then have it open the various wines under that label so that I can select them with a check mark box. Hope that makes sense.

Record Owner field is not being honored by the Charts
Hi, I have a "New Order" form, in which I designated the "Record Owner" field to be "Owner" instead of "Added User". See the attachment for some sample records and the Record owner setting screenshot.

Therefore, the record should NOT be visible to andrew.raymond. In reality, andrew.raymond is able to see the records. On the other hand, records with Owner=andrew.raymond

Get value from 2D array of decimal numbers
I am trying to determine if Zoho will work for our company. The only issue I have found so far is whether we can get a specific value from a large two dimensional array of decimal numbers. I have examined the list functions that apply nicely to one dimensional arrays and can imagine some possible ways to use these. My possible ways are very inelegant, however, and I suspect others have found some elegant ways to do this. Barry Sammleton Distilling LLC
