    Hi Toni,

    Yes, we can call a PHP function via the proxy mb in the view. Use this code to show values that are stored in the custom table.

    {{mb.rwmb_meta( $field_id, {'storage_type': 'custom_table', 'table': $table_name} )}}

    For more information, please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#running-php-functions.

    Hi Toni,

    You need to change variables $field_id and $table_name by your value.

    
{{mb.rwmb_meta( 'field_id', {'storage_type': 'custom_table', 'table': 'table_name'} )}}

    Hi,

    Please share the code that created the custom table and fields and the code in View. I will take a closer look and give a quick response.
