Client Script Quality of Life Improvements #1

Client Script Quality of Life Improvements #1

Since I'm doing quite a bit of client scripting, I wanted to advise the Zoho Dev teams about some items I have found in client script that could be improved upon. A lot of these are minor, but I feel are important none-the-less.

  1. Show Error on Subform Cell
    1. Currently this does not word wrap leaving words split across lines
  2. Alert/Confirmation/Get Input popups
    1. These also are currently lacking in some word wrap treatment, creating an unpolished look or requiring manual line breaks
  3. Open Mailer - Inventory Modules (Invoice, Quote etc)
    1. Would be nice if we could specify the Inventory template (PDF) that is attached to the mailer window
    2. Would be nice if we could specify file attachments in general for that matter
  4. Add Style
    1. Add style does not render on fields that are in the 'Business Card' area. The field in the main body adopts the style added, but the same field replicated in the Business Card area just shows as plain. This limits the way the user can be visually communicated to.
  5. SetReadonly on Detail Page
    1. Unlike with the edit page where a field's background is automatically changed if the field is read only, on the detail page, a read only field has no color to indicate that it can't be edited. Yes, we could add our own styling to show this, but this adds an extra line for each field. It may be nice to simply replicate the Edit page look on the Detail page so that users can instantly know, visually, which fields are locked and which ones are editable.
  6. No Date Picker/Date Field
    1. There doesn't seem to be a date field type for the getInput dialogue which adds complexity around collecting date information since there's no easy way to restrict or validate the user's input.
