In Zoho Creator’s Deluge scripting language, the A typical use of the input map is to read a submitted field value and apply conditional logic. For example, if a form has a Quantity field, a Deluge script can check The The Deluge input statement reads a value from a form field during script execution, allowing workflow code to use the submitted data as a variable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Deluge input Statement | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"The Deluge input statement reads a value from a form field during script execution, allowing workflow code to use the submitted data as a variable.","seo_keyword":"Zoho Deluge input statement","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1258],"class_list":["post-5141","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-creator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}input<\/code> map is a built-in object that provides access to the field values submitted in the current form record.
