Payment processor in Details Report datapage
I suggest to add Payment in Reports details datapage too. That is extremely important! It will save so much time and resources to have eit in REports datapage. Now it is possible to add only in Submission form, which is not useful as details report datapage.
I have a huge list of users and instead of adding the payment in the details page I have to create another dummy table, connect it to my main table, then set 2 triggered actions, then create another submission form datapage and pass 10 parameters just for adding in my submission for the payment…

Format Negative Numbers with Red Font
Caspio needs to modify the Format area where Numbers are formated for each Text field to allow the developers to select a Font color (the default should be RED: #FF0000) for Negative numbers. This is a standard accounting practice. This shouldn't be too hard since the (-) sign is already being associated with the number.
Right now, you have to jump through hoops and then code on every data page (the code being slightly different based on the type of page). The current solution is not documented anywhere. It took me a week and a half on the Forum to…

System Parameter - Timestamp
When I submit or update a record and use the System Timestamp paramente in the datapage to track when then action was performed, currently the time is set after the datapage is open.
However, the time between the datapage loading action and the form is actually submitted by the user might be different. It would be useful if this timestamp parameter is set when the form is successfully submitted too.

File: upload or choose
Make an option, so that the user can chose between an already uploaded file or upload a new file.
It would reduce duplicate files where the contents is the same.3 votes -
format dates for search criteria automatically and don't have the program shame me
This should be a no brainer as long as you decide you want to. When I enter a date search criteria as 8/5/23 I get a warning to enter a date. This is because it is not formated 08/05/2023. But you show it as that new format and all I have to do is hit submit again. Why shame me when you don't have to. Just change it like you are already doing and go on with the query. Geeshh

Auto-save HTML DataPage
One of the most frustrating things that can happen in the development workflow: Open HTML DataPage. Work in it for half an hour. Leave and do something else for a bit. Come back. What's this? I've been logged out? And where is my last 30 minutes of work?
This has happened to me dozens of times and it makes me want to put my head through the monitor. I know I'm not the only one out there. Please please please automatically save progress when working on HTML DataPages!!!

Enable custom tab order
Currently, pressing "tab" on a form has one behavior: move one box to the right. This can make for some pretty unintuitive user interfaces - see the image for an example. If you have two address columns, there's no way to tab down the columns; the focus will bounce back and forth between them.
Please include a way to modify this, with a way to change tab direction to vertical, or to a custom tab order specified by the app developer. Access has a nice tab order function you could look at for inspiration.

Default setting for sorting the choices in a dropdown list
It would be nice if the "Sort by" option for a lookup table used in a dropdown field was set to "none" so that it automatically matched how the lookup table was organized.

Make it possible to hide sections based on fields that are not editable
it is often the case that we want to hide sections of a form based on a field that is not editable on the form itself. It would save a lot of time and effort if this was made possible with the rules.
This is especially true on detail reports where no fields are editable but we still need to conditionally hide / show sections.

When exporting data on list page - use the details page field names - not table field names
When you export the data from a details report page/list, it takes the actual table field names which are usually either too long or do not make sense some times to the user. Like the option of keeping it the way it is or using the details page renamed field names

Provide a feature for datapages that allows the creation of a beginning and ending balance.
I have a datapage that produces a monthly statement. I am able to create an aggregate to display the total of items listed on the statement. But I'm not able to do a "Beginning balance" - the total either a) at the end of the prior month or b) the total of all items for that client prior to the monthly statement (these would be essentially the same, just different ways of getting the data).
What would be very useful is a type of aggregation field that can be constrained by date, or other field. Then I could use it…

More than 4 sort fields
Report pages allow for up to 4 sort fields. Please extend to more. At least 7, I think, but why not unlimited.

white lablling
White labeling -I think it is a wise if the free account user have given the option to use white labeling with small fee that they can afford yet make the feel that they own the system, I see that other plan just offered the option with payment of about $20/month offered and it seems this payment can also affordable to those using the apps for free.

Be able to setup the frequency for datapage notification
Once the datapage is updated, the user receives a notification.
I would like to setup frequency, as the user can update several times a day the information registered. So receives 10 times the same notification per day.
Not like a drip email feature but more to be able to setup several messages as notification depending on conditions, and also be able to stop sending messages after conditions are met

Provide an option on submitting a datapage form for both showing a message AND viewing the same form.
We have a number of cases where adding data happens in serial, but users want some sort of feedback to indicate that the record they just submitted was actually saved. It would be nice to have an option that showed a text message/alert above the same form - so they'd know their record was saved and they are all set to enter another.

Add a description when using IP Filtering for each IP added.
I am having a hard time remembering where an IP belongs to. For example, I need to know what office each IP belongs to in case I need to disable it.

provide parameter translation for data pages without forcing whole-app migration
As it stands, only whole-app migration (export and import) brings parameters across as parameters. This is essential when using parameters to store page-keys, which is essential for page-to-page movement based on user actions and button clicks etc.
If we export selected pages only, then the parameters get resolved into static values, and that too the values as relevant to the source instance, which renders pointless the whole purpose of parameters because they are all wrong in the destination instance.
