Zoho CRM Mail and Zoho Calendar
I'm frustrated because I have made a huge switch. I moved my CRM to Zoho and my email to Zoho mail and gave up Outlook. I now use the Zoho CRM Calendar and have been pleased until I realized there is a difference between Zoho Calendar and CRM Calendar. Even though I'm using Zoho Mail from within the CRM it wants to put meeting invites iinto the Zoho Calendar instead of the CRM. While there is a option to add CRM activities to the Zoho Calendar the opposite does not exist. I find this really cumbersome.

Links generation too clever in encoding special characters
We have a case where we use URL added to an URL field as the base to build a Link (top left Links) https://some.dom/view?xyz=query This becomes this URL in Zoho CRM after evalCustomLink https://some.dom/view%3Fxyz%3Dquery And isn't working of course, as the browser encodes it again on post. Any help is appreciated.

New Quotes module
So working with the "new" Quotes module this morning, found it to be somewhat better, still needs some work though. Problem I run into this morning is that there is no "shipping" field, looked high and low, no joy. There is however an "add line item"....problem with that is that it treats shipping like an inventory item and unless you are "stocking" shipping then you end up with a negative balance for that product. This is clumsy and just wrong. There should be just an open field that you can add
