Whenever I am executing the task with Predefined function Insert Data into a Inline Jiffy table, I get the error message as "Column not present in Table", although the column is present in the Inline table. Image description

This error occurs when the column name you provided does not match exactly with the column name in the table.

Getting an error “Error while saving functions. HTML tags are not allowed in functions” when I try to save a user-defined function. Image description

This error occurs when restricted HTML tags are used in user-defined functions. The restriction on the tags listed below is imposed due to security reasons.

Restricted HTML Tags: script, img, a, svg, video, iframe, form, object, style, meta, isindex, applet

However, the restricted HTML tags can be first replaced with any user defined name in the code and can be replaced back with the actual tags using replace function.

To replace a restricted tag "a" the code would be:
val = <jiffy_a>Hello</jiffy_a>;
(write HTML code)
return val.replace('jiffy_a','a');
This will return <a>hi</a>
