Dearest Zoho
Today, support confirmed that if I call a custom function from another custom function then I will use up two, with regards to my daily limit. A few times, we have blown our daily limit and that means that ordinary business processes don't run for the rest of the day. I have to mop these up the following day and there is no guarantee that I will get it right. Therefore, I can't afford to waste any.
Procedural programming has been around for over 50 years now and it greatly simplifies things. My deluge script are full of large chunks of code that are repeated in several custom functions. It is very difficult to maintain code like this.
Please change the way that custom functions are counted, so that if one is called from another, then it does not count towards the limit. That way you would encourage programmers to produce better, more robust code, and enjoy it more too!
I look forward to reading your response.
Many thanks
Pete
