Proposal: Actionable API Error Messages to Reduce Support Ticket Volume
I've encountered a long-standing frustration with how Zoho Creator's API communicates errors to developers, and I'm hoping the Zoho team can address this in a future update. This issue has persisted for over 9 years based on community discussions, and
Stop the Workarounds: We Need Native Multi-Step Forms

Non-responsive views in Mobile Browser (iPad)
Has anyone noticed that the creator applications when viewed in a mobile browser (iPad) lost its responsiveness? It now appears very small font size and need to zoom into to read contents. Obviously this make use by field staff quite difficult. This is not at all a good move, as lots of my users are depending on accessing the app in mobile devices (iPads), and very challenging and frustrating.

Offline for Maintenance Option
Making changes to a live application can cause problems. I'm suggesting a new application settings option to temporary disable all access to an app so the admin or developer can make changes without any user interference. Additionally, while the app is offline, there should be some ability to present the users with a customized notification page (perhaps a view within the app itself). For example, "This application is undergoing maintenance and will be back online Sunday at 5 PM. Please email smith@net.com

Report Options Improvements
Currently there a number of, let's call them quirks, when trying to setup reports for an Apps users. There are often times when hiding the "Add" button on a particular report for all users would be useful. However to achieve this we must embed the report in a page, now we get an extra page every time we need this functionality. If you need to remove the 'SpreadSheet' option but keep the 'Timeline' you would need to add an edit workflow with an "On Load or On User Input" code block. To remove the
"sudo" for Zoho Creator
There should be a way to allow for the developer/owner account to switch user to any one. I need to be able to test the roles of all my users of my app and because logging off and back on is way too ridiculous, I've had to code in my own pseudo-sudo app. It really slows down the app. There should be a built-in way for me to just be able to assume the identity of any user at any point in time during the use of the app.

Star Rating - New Field Type
Hi, Just an idea, How about a Star Rating Field. Simple 5-star system. Enables User to vote/rate on Form. View also displays rating for each row. It will be a new field type that we can drag and drop in form building. Dunno if it will be useful to everyone, but I'm aware that a lot of Creator users are here to use the forms for some sort of online questionnaire. This will surely help.
Follow lookup field link in subforms or reports
What am I missing here - there appears to be no way to drill into a record linked to as a lookup field, either in a subform, or as a column on a report. How is a user supposed to be able to quickly navigate through related records? Please add a magnifying/drill into button next to lookup fields, or make lookup fields displayed in reports a clickable link. Please refer to the attached screenshots - as you can see I can create Master/Child set up but then there is no easy way to drill into a child

Proposing a new function for lists: Remove Duplicates
Currently I use a cumbersome way to create a list and then feed unique values to another list all for the purpose of removing duplicates. The USER_IDS is an integer list of record IDs. Because of the way my database is constructed, if the criteria is met, this list can have duplicates. To remove them, I have to feed the list of IDs to another list (UNIQUE_IDS) as long as the ID is not already there. USER_IDS = (DATABASE[(USER_DATA.contains(r.SUBLIST) && STATUS == "CONF")].ID).getall(); for each

Feature request: Zoho Creator - Zoho Writer integration for mail merge
Hi, I've set up a purchase order template on Zoho Writer and I want to have the fields in my template linked to the fields in a report in Zoho Creator. So far I was only able to achieve this by exporting a CSV file from ZC and importing it into ZW through mail merge. Is there anyway to automate this process? Will Zoho consider integrating both apps?
