Subform dynamic lookup filter lost after creating a relationship with Main form
Please can you help explain how I can filter the choices on a subform lookup field based on an entry in a field on the main form and at the same time keep the subform row choices in the Main form report so I can analyse them and calculate a total. I am very new to this! I am creating an invoicing application. I have created an Invoice form. I have worked out how to select a customer from a customer database. Each customer has an insurer, but the amount I can bill the customer for different tests
Calculating number of days between two dates
Can this be done, perhaps as a custom function? If I subtract date2 from date1 I get a (large) integer, which suggests that dates are just integers under the hood. So there would be a way to do element date match. A good example might be to calculate accounts receivable aging...a fairly common sort of thing. Before I try to hack my way through this, is there a straightforward method or has someone written code they would be willing to share? Thanks!

Add table to query from?
I would like to use two fields (thickness and length) to fetch a price from a grid. I would like to transition from excel (or zoho sheets) to creator. For example: If a user input in on a from lengthfield "31" and thicknessfield ".375", I would like to see the value of $7.84 returned.
Subform lookup field not populated when offline
Lookup fields on the parent form work when offline, but any lookup fields that are in a subform always show the "no internet connection" screen when offline - even if you previously load the list (and theoretically cache it). I even tried downloading the list of values hoping it would use that - but I just can't get it to show lookup values in the subform when offline. Anybody encounter this? I really don't want to have to hardcode the options in a dropdown as the list is fairly dynamic.

input null to a functions - get an error
Hi Zoho, I have a function, with few variables including a date variable. I have a script in the function for cases the date variable is null.

How to build report using check box data?
Zoho Creator says that a known limitation is that reports can't be built from data recorded through multi-select or check boxes. Surely there MUST be a way to do this! It's true that these fields don't show up in the drag and drop menu for me to build a pivot chart from but has anyone found a way to do this? It's pretty essential for my application. Thanks, Lindsay
Check Box field in Pivot Table
Is there some problem with using a check box field in a pivot table? When I go to set up the table none of my checkboxes appear in the field list to select from. Weird and really a problem for me. Thanks for any thoughts.
Adding a rule to style
Hi Zoho, I have some parts of page that I'd like to show only to one user. Instead of using "if" every time on the page, I'd like to create a style. I've created this function: string styles.EditPossible( String UserName) { if (UserName = "CorrectUser") { EditPossStyle="<style>.EditPossStyle{display:inline;}</style>"; } else { EditPossStyle="<style>.EditPossStyle{display:none;}</style>"; } return EditPossStyle; } And i call it one the html page using <%=thisapp.styles.EditPossible(zoho.loginuser)%>
Connecting to my Zoho Reports Database via Google Appscript & JDBC
I'm wondering if this Google AppScript (below) can be used to connect to Zoho Reports via JDBC. I have successfully managed to connect to my database via the JDBC driver and DBVisualiser but haven't managed to adapt the script to work so far. Are you able to provide any assistance please? Or can you advise another way to get my database info into google sheets?

Automatically add subsequent datefields over a time periode
Hi I'm quite new to Zoho Creator but the possibilities seem endless...if you know your way around. I'm building an application for the management of participants on a long term training course.

Mixture of number of columns in a form
Hi, My sub forms need to go the length of the form because their information is presented horizontally but data from my other fields would be more successfully presented in 2 columns. Is it possible to develop column breaks so that I could more effectively present my information? Thanks

Filter subform items based on parent form
I have a purchase order form with a subform for adding items to the purchase order. I only want parts that belong to the vendor selected in the parent form to be available in the subform lookup field. Each part in the subform is related to the vendor selected in the parent form. How can I apply a filter to the lookup field in the subform based on the vendor selected in the parent form? I'm trying to use the Set filter in the field properties section but maybe this needs to be done with deluge.
what happens to data entered into form if user loses connectivity?
Im designing an app for data entry and was curious what happens if connection is lost (or user goes into airplane mode). For mobile users, I'd expect that the reports will be unavailable, but will the form be unable to be accessed? For PC use... Is there a way to have it store records locally until connectivity is restored, then automatically push them back up to the cloud once connection returns? My users travel a lot and I think being able to enter data while in flight would be valuable.

Decision Field width in subform.
Hi Everyone, I'm new here, but am getting my feet wet with a fairly complicated app. I'm just wondering, why can't I resize a decision field in a subform? I have a lot of columns in my subform, and three decision boxes. They are killing my column real estate. I expected this answer to already have been asked, but I have been right over the forum and can't find anything similar. Thanks, LJ

Hi! I have a Form Orders_form and an Exchange form. I need the customers information to populate (ie. Name, Address, Item Purchased) when I provide the Exchange form the Orders_form Order No. I have the relationship setup...i was reading in the resources and found the code i needed but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have this setup on the On User Input of the lookup field Orders. if (Orders_form[Order_No == input.Orders].count() > 0) { x = Orders_form [Order_No == input.Orders];
License and number of users Zoho Creator
Hi there, How does the license model of Zoho Creator work? I want to to build a couple of web applications. Customers and other external people need to enter data in these apps/forms. I prefer to distribute a custom URL per customer so they don't need to login and can simply enter data (to monitor quality of sales appointments for example). Does I customer count as a user or not? I will be the only one making and editing the apps and forms, do I only need one user license in that case?? Regards,

Redirect to different urls after submission of web form
Hi there - we have an embedded form that has a radio option of 3 choices: -pay online after submission -payment already on file -mail payment I can setup the single URL redirect of a successful submission easy enough for all, but I would like to know if someone can show me a way to script that so each of those 3 choices opens a different page, so 'pay online after submission' when selected and submitted will open the payment gateway url, and the other 2 options will redirect to a static html page
Share form script code
Can you please allow us to create common/shared script functions for forms. Right now I need to repeat code across: * Add -> On Load * Edit -> On Load * Field -> On User Input The scenario is a Drop Down field called 'Type' that controls hide/show of other fields on the form. Having to repeat the script across multiple places is a maintenance pain. A custom function will not work as you can do no UI operations.
How can I change the formatting of controls in creator?
Hi Zoho User/Developers, I want to show 2 radio option in a zoho form. I just want to make them visually different. Like first option need to have blue color and second as red. And need to increase their size also as on ipad i want to cover the whole area. This will help our user in long run to provide input by just looking at color rather reading text. Please let me know how can I do this. Thanks
Unable to updates a notes field in a function
Why can't I update an 'Add Notes' field on a form object? Every time I find what looks like a workaround for a Creator limitation you prevent me. In form scripts for Add -> Load, Edit -> Load, field -> On User Input etc, I can change input.notes value. Letting me do this in functions allows for bulk updates when it's value has to be re-calculated. I am trying to get around limitations that I have outlined here in details to present a quick list users can choose from to access related form objects
How do pre-fill fields in a form invoked via "allow new entries" + control
Single or Multi-select relationships are great... and the + button is useful for adding new data into a related form. However it would be REALLY useful if fields in the related form could be pre-filled with data from the parent form? Also, you cant select related records in the picklist and view/edit them... you have to go find them in the associated report (for the related form) and edit them there :( or... When using sub-forms is there a way to control which fields (in the sub-form) are included
Web Sections in Forms
Please support a new component type for Forms - the Web section. It should allow expressions/formulas to build the URL and be updated on field value changes. Use case is very simple - I want to display maps, and other external web content based on field values. This would be super awesome and I imagine pretty straight forward to implement.

Is there a record upload limit for creating and app or form?
A few times I've uploaded a larger file (maybe 3,000 rows, 10 columns in excel) and the import process for zoho creator just hangs with a blank webpage. Is there a file limit of some sort or any idea why this would happen? Thanks, Brady
Lookup pulls string, not ID
Seems like a lot of questions along this vein go the other way -- people want to pull a string not the ID. I actually have the opposite problem: I have lookup fields in forms that date back to 2013 that pull strings, when what I need is IDs. Here's the Form definition text in question: must have School_Group ( displayname = "School/Group" type = picklist values = Schools.Name_of_School displayformat = [ Name_of_School + "
