For Zoho services only


I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms

Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms

What?
A quick article on a snippet of code which copies one subform to other subforms in the same form.

Why?
I'm creating an appointment/booking system and I want the user to be able to set entries in a subform called "Mondays" then to click a button which copies it to the remaining working days.

How?
So I have a form with 6 subforms which list staff/employee shifts from Monday to Saturday. The form I have looks something like the following:
Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms: Design
and displays as something like this:
Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms: Form

The code
I create a workflow that when the decision box "Copy Monday to the Other Days" is clicked it runs the following deluge script:
copyraw 
// only run if true
if(input.Copy_Monday_to_the_Other_Days)
{
    // init
    c_Tuesday = Collection();
    c_Wednesday = Collection();
    c_Thursday = Collection();
    c_Friday = Collection();
    c_Saturday = Collection();
    //
    // loop through Monday subform
    for each r_Row in input.Mondays
    {
        if(r_Row.In_Effect)
        {
            // get Monday entries/rows
            v_EventType = r_Row.Event_Type;
            v_EventStart = r_Row.Start_Time;
            v_EventEnd = r_Row.End_Time;
            //
            // create Tuesdays subform entries
            r_RowTu = Shifts.Tuesdays();
            r_RowTu.Event_Type = v_EventType;
            r_RowTu.Start_Time = v_EventStart;
            r_RowTu.End_Time = v_EventEnd;
            r_RowTu.In_Effect = true;
            c_Tuesday.insert(r_RowTu);
            //
            // create Wednesdays subform entries
            r_RowWe = Shifts.Wednesdays();
            r_RowWe.Event_Type = v_EventType;
            r_RowWe.Start_Time = v_EventStart;
            r_RowWe.End_Time = v_EventEnd;
            r_RowWe.In_Effect = true;
            c_Wednesday.insert(r_RowWe);
            //
            // create Thursdays subform entries
            r_RowTh = Shifts.Thursdays();
            r_RowTh.Event_Type = v_EventType;
            r_RowTh.Start_Time = v_EventStart;
            r_RowTh.End_Time = v_EventEnd;
            r_RowTh.In_Effect = true;
            c_Thursday.insert(r_RowTh);
            //
            // create Fridays subform entries
            r_RowFr = Shifts.Fridays();
            r_RowFr.Event_Type = v_EventType;
            r_RowFr.Start_Time = v_EventStart;
            r_RowFr.End_Time = v_EventEnd;
            r_RowFr.In_Effect = true;
            c_Friday.insert(r_RowFr);

The Result
So now when I tick this decision box, I get something like the following:
Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms: Result

    Quick refresher:
    copyraw
