CRM Client scripts via extension?

CRM Client scripts via extension?

I've made a lot of industry specific customization to zoho CRM, using custom modules, workflows/automations, deluge scripts, api calls, and client scripting.  I have had organic interest explaining what i've done to other small business owners in my industry.  I want to see about turning into a product.  I'm not a professional developer and i've never worked with the zoho development suite.  I say this because it might be a question that shows a lack of understanding of zoho development tools.

I make use of client scripting a lot in zoho crm for data sanitation, auto populating fields when a user selects a certain drop down, and even formatting.   Is a number entered in the right format, xx-xxxx-xx, highlight certain field based on their contents with a colored background so they are more noticeable at a glance, such as if an account is a VIP account.  I initially did created some of these features via deluge, the problem being they were only executed after the record is saved and it, caused a lot of user confusion/frustration, and was very clunky.  Using client scripts the end user gets real time feedback when creating/editing a record and it's much more intuitive.

While looking into zoho sigma and the vertical crm solution, i don't see any way to create client scripts.  Is this not supported?  Is there another way to achieve the same end result of my above examples?

          So i've been playing with Zoho Projects Kanban view a bit more. It appears that task lists are being used as the Kanban columns, which makes sense from the implementation point of view but not the logical one.  Kanban columns are statuses that a task can flow through, while a task list has been a logical way to organize related tasks and relate them to a mislestone. In other words a task in a particular task can go through several stages while remaining in the same task list. After doing some research
