Auto populating custom field in Zoho CRM using criteria

I saw this question in the Zoho forums and thought I'd respond: Is there way to auto-populate a field given a set of criteria? For example, I'd like all Potentials that close between a set of dates (i.e. between 1/1/2015 and 5/1/2015) to automatically populate the same text in a custom field I've called "Group." My Answer void       modify_group_for_jim_based_on_closing_date    (   int   potential_id       ) potential = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Potentials",input.potential_id); the_closing_date=(potential.get("Closing Date")).toDate(); date_window_1=("1/1/2015").toDate(); date_window_2=("1/5/2015").toDate(); date_window_3=("1/6/2015").toDate(); date_window_4=("1/11/2015").toDate(); potential_map=map(); if((the_closing_date  >=  date_window_1)  &&  (the_closing_date  <=  date_window_2)) { potential_map.put("Group","Group 1"); } else if((

Selecting multiple products and associating them with a Zoho CRM lead

I saw a question in the Zoho CRM forums that I thought I'd answer: I created a custom field in the Lead form for Product and it is linked to our Product list in Zoho so when we click on the field to fill it in for a lead, it pulls up our Product list. However, once I click on one product, it automatically populates the field with that product without allowing me to select additional products. (Our leads and customers are often interested in multiple products.) Is there a way to keep the field linked to our Zoho Product list and make it multi-pick?  My answer I'd recommend using the Products related list for this purpose. Here's  a screencast  showing you how. You can report on which products are associated to which leads by choosing both modules when creating a report.
