Hi,
can I create grouped fields (used with frontend submission) but saving fields as stand alone value (single column for each field) in database with Custom Table extension?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it could be. The extension MB Custom Table and MB Frontend Submission do not support a workflow like that but you can create a lot of code to do that. Here are some hints:
- Does not save the field value to the custom table after clicking the button Submit. Use the setting 'save_field' => false of the field, see more here https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/#common-settings.
- Update the input value to the custom table, follow WP documentation to update the database manually https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/update/.
- You might need to hook that action to post actions hooks https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#post-actions.
