Suggestion: Request History for Library Functions
Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a "Request history" for the standalone functions, similar to the ones within the actual endpoints? This would make it much easier to debug issues especially when chaining functions (i.e. endpoint going to a function that goes into more functions). Thanks!

For example for some final variable X: I want X to be the first non-empty value of variables A, B, and C So if A = 2, B = null, C = 1 then I want X = 2 If A = null, B = null, C = 1 then I want…
Reference variable in a variable?
Hi, I'm using a loop to manipulate an object. I need each loop to use a succesive element in my JSON data. For example: Loop 0 —> user.preference.0 Loop 1 —> user.preference.1 Loop 2 —> user.preference.2 Initially I thought I could simply use the loop's "index" variable (which tracks the loop's current iteration number) in…
Add filter to change or replace key names in an object.
The filter should take an object such as {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2", "key3":"value3"} and provide a list of text to replace the key names e.g. ["mykey1","mykey2","mykey3"} and return: {"mykey1":"myvalue1","key2":"myvalue2", "key3":"value3"}. WHY? At times, one needs to provide more descriptive keys to the frontend (a…

Automating workflow on record creation or update
Hi, I just started using Xano and I'd like to learn if it's possible for me to trigger a workflow on the creation or update of a record in the database?

Complex Financial Functions

For example this monthly payment formula can be done by reference other fields in a record: {Loan Amount}*({Monthly Rate}*POWER(1 + {Monthly Rate}, INT(Amortization)*12)) / (POWER(1+{Monthly Rate},(INT(Amortization)*12))-1) From…
