I'm wondering if there is a way on a form (or, I presume it needs to be on a page, actually) where I could have a button that every time it is triggered it increments a field. Basically, a manual counter. Can anyone point me in a good direction? Thanks! Best, Brady

Option for 12-hr time format?
Ok, I live in America and poor Americans generally don't use or understand the 24-hr time format unless they were in the military or had a specific reason to learn it. I know, I know... So, would it be possible (or is it already) for Creator to provide the option as to how the time format is selected in the widget and displayed in views? I know I can script the output to be 12-hr format, but it's the poor person entering the time in the form that has the biggest problem. Any help? Datazen1 datazen1@gmail.com
Select a group of items in a subform and sum the value of a field of these group of items.
Hi, I am very new to these deluge scripts, I am creating a system here in Zoho Creator. I have a group of items in a subform, In here I have a field called "Bill N°", that has the choices "1", "2", "3", "4". also there is a "Price" field for each item.

I was following this guide: https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/tutorials/advanced-app-building.html#Subform-Actions.
Disable "Autocorrect' on mobile for specific text fields
Hello, It would be awesome if we could disable Autocorrect on specific text fields. For instance, we have a field in which we collect cars license plate… Unfortunately, in the mobile app, the Autocorrect often modifies the entry, without the user noticing... Same thing happens with first names and last names... Thank you in advance, Jonathan
Want to add an image button to open a ZOHO Creator Page
Hopefully, this will be a clear explanation of what I want to do. I have a home page (which is a Page, not a form or report) which has a standard Page Button embedded on it. The button is labelled "Calendar". The button is set up to perform the action "open a page", so when the user clicks on it, it opens a Page called "My_Calendar". I want to replace this Button with an image that looks like a calendar. I got the image to display just fine, but for the life of me I can't figure out the correct

Use a user's previously entered information to do calculations on current form
Hi! My premise is that a user will access the app, enter data in a form for example: amount of bananas: 1 banana. Next day they go in and enter the same form, while other users also update their own form data, stating the banana amount for that day. I would like to add logic so that if the bananas are a different amount from the previous day, it adds a question: "why are there less bananas today?" so that the user can say what happened to the banana.. So basically it's stock taking. How can I retrieve

Columns too far apart
I changed a field to be size: Large instead of Medium. After this I noticed that there was a wide gap between the two columns. I switched the field size back to Medium but the gap didn't go away. I also added a subform, perhaps that had an impact? I've opened the form up for Zoho to edit/help. Is there anyone who can look into this form width issue? Here's a screenshot of my form next to what a normal form would look like:

Update date calculation when viewing report
So I am using the Zoho.currentdate to calculate the days a "listing" has been live. Here is the Deluge Script: input.Days_on_market = ((zoho.currentdate - input.Date_listed)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24); It does not seem to be updating when you pull up a record in view. Is there a way to do that? The other option is to schedule it to update every record on a schedule, but that seems overly taxing and not the right way to do it. Suggestions? Colin

Hello Everyone I'm new to Creator, and I'm trying to teach myself Creator, but I'm having trouble. I'm trying to create a formulator inside Creator that will subtract to dates.

encodeUrl Function Bug
The space character is being encoded incorrectly. It is being encoded as a + (plus character). It should be encoded as a percent sign 20 . I have not checked all the other characters, so I can't say if there are any other characters that are being encoded incorrectly. Test Case: alert(encodeUrl(" ")); This produces a plus sign instead of percent sign 20 . This bug causes all string parameters passed to subforms to fail if the strings contains a space character.
Bulk Edit vs. Manual Correction
I am running a company and contact database. Due to the nature of my app, I need to have duplicate records. Whenever I want need to do a mass import, I need to make the parent object (in my case company and company name field) unique in order to attach those contacts to the duplicate companies that I am importing. For example: - Corporation Inc. - FIRST RECORD - _Corporation Inc. - DUPLICATE RECORD After my import, I need to remove "_" manually. In some cases there are 100s of records.
