Creating a Report with Sub Forms
I am trying to figure out the best way to create a report based on Sub Form data. Preferably a spreadsheet report. Here's my scenario. Say we have a form called DATA.

Full name not username
Hi I am hoping there is a better solution than the one listed on these forums for getting the logged in users full name ie Bill Smith, rather than bsmith3. I see the old solution was to creat another database an manually enter in the information... hopefully some improvement has been made in the last 5 years.

Zoho creator workflow Issue
Hi There, I am trying to create a workflow to one of my inspection forms. The flow should be as follows; The user creates a form and send it to the approver Approver checks it and signs the form (or reject it) From what I can see once the form is submitted to the approver, the approver can't sign on the actual form. Is this something you can incorporate to the form? Or once the form is approved, is there a log to show who signed the form and on what date? Regards, Lou
Lookup field auto populates single-line field. Then recurring lookup.
Hi. I have a series of eight forms that I need to be linked by a single entry in order for my app to work. Any clear and simple help would be much appreciated. I have a dropdown lookup field on my first form that pulls a vehicle registration from a ZC database. This is called Vehicle_Registration. Below this, on the same form, I have a single-line field called Vehicle_Type. In the database, every vehicle registration has a corresponding vehicle type. So, I would like the Vehicle_Type field
Disabling/Enabling SubForm Fields based on Login User
We have a Form with a Subform attached that is used to add comments. In the subform - there are 3 fields (date, email, comment) of which the first 2 are auto-populated (login user id and current date). We need to be able to disable fields where the email isn't the loginuserid - so that people can't edit other's comments. From what i've read on the forums - the only information is 8 years old and suggests that the disable option on Subforms isn't possible. Given it's 2020 - is there a solution to

Easiest Zoho Creator Sync Scripts and Methods
Hi, I would like to build a POS App using Zoho Creator. I would also like that all Customer, Product and Inventory Details be synched everytime the POS App is loaded or when a user presses a Synch / Refresh Button. From Zoho One it appears that the main target synch module is Zoho CRM as it already can sync with Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory seamlessly. q1. Why doesn't zoho have a simple sync wizard to synch Zoho CRM data to Zoho creator? q2. What is the simplest Diluge script i can use to sync
Unique ID
Hi, Is it possible to have Creator automatically generate a unique ID for each entry? I cannot find a way to auto-increment and in the expense tracker I am building I cannot think of any other way to guarantee that each entry is unique - for later finding. An alternative would be to use a Unix style datestamp, but I have had no luck scripting that either :) Any suggestions welcome Owen

I also would like to disable to registration and forgot your password page for my portal. Thanks

Problem with multiple 'for each' statements in workflow
New to ZC and almost a novice at coding. I'm mostly getting along fine learning Deluge through the documentation and googling, but I'm completely stuck on this one. At line 22 I get the error 'Variable Actual_Work_Time does not exist in Activity_log'. I've tried every way I can think of to specify that 'Actual_Work_Time' is in the form Projects (not the subform Activity_log) but it won't accept any. Forms/fields (only for as far as the problematic line): Projects (fields Total_Project_Time_Actual)

Kanban Report by User Fields
It would be nice to be able to create a Kanban report by the system user fields. Those are finite, just like a lookup, dropdown, or radio button. My use case is that users (employees) scan codes for tasks completed, and that form uses the system 'added user' field to designate who did the work. I would like to be able to see this is a Kanban setup by user, which is not currently possible. I realize that I could add an additional dropdown field and have it set by a workflow based on the added user,

form.submit
Hi, I'm using the Zoho Creator for an inventory management application and have found most things really awesome. I require to do an auto submit of the forms once all the fields are filled up correctly, something like a form.submit in Javascript. Is there a way to do this ? Is there a "force submit" counterpart of "cancel submit" ? Is there a way we can embed our own Javascript to do this ? Thanks, Zainul.

Conditional switching of mandatory field status
Hi I have a form that requires a number of fields to be hidden depending on the selection of a yes/No radio button field, ie if the radio button selection is "no", then about 6 other fields are not necessary and must be hidden.

Detecting a user closing a form without submitting it.
I probably know the answer to this but I though I'd just ask in case someone has found a way to do this. is there a some kind of on close or on quit event where deluge script can be run when a user cancels or closes a form or quits the window that a form is open without submitting or updating a form.? It would be useful for us to do some data clear up if this happened to one of our forms. Thanks
