How do I open a URL to edit a record using ZML code?

How to get an Attendance Count to show in a Report
I am trying to create a simple Attendance "Punch Card" type app. I have two forms. Student and Attendance. I have a bi-directional lookup between them that is working. In Attendance you can select students for a date. In Students it shows the dates they are present. I have figured out the Workflow scripting to get a field in Students on Form Load to show total number of Attendance presents. input.Total_Classes_Taken = input.Attendance_Date.size(); But I do not want to open each student to

Maximum number of executable statements
This is a general comment / question. I think Zoho creator is an absolute great platform and has also improved a lot over the years. One thing however has proven to be very annoying and that is the Maximum number of 5000 executable statements per deluge action. I work on a db with around about 6000 records. It happens way too often that I have to run a function for pretty much all records where i'll get the limit error. Then have to break it up in lots of small portions. For example if i want to
HTML dropdown that is dynamically updated from data
HTML pro's out there, anyone have a sample code you can share of creating a drop-down in Page that pulls the options from a set of form data? Essentially build what would be a form Lookup field but do it in Page HTML. I've been trying to make code found on Stack-Overflow work, but haven't had any success getting it to transition into the Zoho/deluge/page environment. I know I can embed a stateless form, but that is unnecessarily taking up huge acres of real estate, especially with the update button

Import data into url field not working
Thought I had this working in my early testing, but now it's not. Our application compiles customer orders. New daily orders will be collected first on an Excel spreadsheet. Then employees will use the import data function. One field on the sheet is a link to a PDF of their order. I created a new field in our app as URL. When I import data, the link info appears in the correct field in the preview. When I complete the import, however, the URL field is empty. If I then edit the record and copy/paste

API Failure on Edit
Here is an example of the XML Being sent. I am getting the error: "Failure, Invalid or null criteria specified" I am following from this page: https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/api/xml-rpc-api/xml-rpc-api-edit-records.html This does not make sense as the criteria does appear to be the correct database spelling. Down below is the example I am trying to make work. Only thing I changed from the example was changed the view into form as view was not working. $xml = " <ZohoCreator> <applicationlist>

Checking Values Within Name and Address Fields
I'd like to make sure that both a First Name and a Last Name have a value in them before I save a record (ie. that both are not Null)- but in the Deluge editor, I only seem to see Name. Similarly, before saving a record, I'd like to see that for addresses, there are values in Address 1, City/District, State/Providence, Postal Code and Country - but in the Deluge editor fields option, I only see the whole Address field. How can I test those "sub-fields" of the Name and Address fields?

Importing/Exporting data on a custom built Zoho Creator App
HI - new here so feel free to point me in the right forum/direction. I have two issues with the following setup: Main Form with a few fields Subform within the Main form with 5 fields The problems: Whenever I export data, I see all the main form fields, but only the first field of the subform Whenever I import data, it puts all the entries of the subform first field into one row.

Printing forms using a background image
Hi, I am having trouble making a template work as I desire. Its a certificate and I've made a copy of it and inserted it as a background image. On screen I have aligned the fields in the desired locations. But when I print it to PDF the alignment is out. I'm using Chrome as a browser. Designing the form completely from scratch is an option but seems like a load more work.

"&" being converted to parameter in PDF export
Hi, I have a button in a CRM record that passes a string that may contain an ampersand to a ZC Page. The first issue was, if that string contains an ampersand, the URL would then read that as a new parameter and cut off the string when displayed. e.g, "Mr H & Mrs D Smith" gets interpreted as "Mr H " because the & specifies a new parameter. I resolved this by replacing "&" with "%26" before passing the string, and now the ZC Page displays the full name. However, when using Print or PDF buttons on
Built in functions getFieldNames() & getFieldValue() could be improved!
Hi, Would be nice to see both these functions improved to handle sub-forms, also the ability to use within custom functions. Like this would be awesome: map forms.fieldValues(int recID) { record = Form[ID = input.recID]; counter = 0; myMap = Map(); for each line in record.Sub_Form { counter = counter + 1; fields = line.getFieldNames(); for each field in fields { myMap.put(field + " - " + counter, getFieldValue("field"));
Report based workflow
Hi there, I often find myself wanting to create workflow based on reports instead of forms. Here are some examples: - On-Create of a new record from Report A, assign default value to field1, field2, field3. On-Create of a new record from Report B, assign different value to those fields. - On-Create of a new record from Report A, hide field1 and field2. On-Create of a new record from Report B, don't hide those fields, or hide other fields. - On-load of Spreadsheet report, disable field1 and field3
Customize detail view links (click to WhatsApp)
Is it possible to customize the detail view to include links in certain fields? For example having the phone number link to start a WhatsApp (wa.me/phonenumber) chat instead of dialing. Or linking a field like invoice number to take me to a different report on my app. I know it's possible to make custom record templates but these are used for printing and saving to PDF. I am looking for a way to customize the actual detail view while viewing a report.
Sub-Form Entry Sorting
Hi: Is there a way to sort the order in which sub-form records (entries) appear on the parent form by a field other than the modify date? Case: I have a customers form with a contact log sub form that has a date selector date field. By default each entry in this contact log form appears on the main form in order by the date that the sub-form record was entered. Instead, I would like them to appear in order of date per the date selector field. Thanks

Subform as a pop-up
Hello, is it possible to change the Subform UI ? As my subform contains too many data so it is very inconvenient to drag the data horizontally back and forth.
Few issues with fetch. I've gotten too complicated I think.
Form A records a product description, barcode, price at time of capture and the store it was purchased at. Store Name is a lookup field, then two single line fields and a currency field. Form B is a stateless form that when a barcode is scanned checks to see if a record exists. If so, it displays the highest price recorded, lowest price recorded and product description. I want to add in a fetch for the store where the lowest price was last recorded, as well as a fetch for the store that most often
