Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms

Zoho Creator: Copy Subform to other Subforms

Category: Zoho
Hits: 19915
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:
