Hello,

Hopefully just a quick question! - GroupX storage in its own table.

Say I have two forms. "Child" is where I have configured all the fields which will be used in the GroupX. "Parent" is where I have configured a single text field and the GroupX field, which uses the Child form.

When the Parent form is submitted, I want the single text field to be stored in its own table - "ParentTable". I want the data from the GroupX field data to be stored in its OWN separate table called  "ChildTable". I believe I need to use "Standard" storage.

I would prefer to have this kind of database structure as it will make it easier to pull the data into other applications and scripts at a later date.

Is this possible?

This article explains that the Custom Storage Format is "Mandatory storage for plugins fields: FieldX GroupX.". However, these seems to be conflicting information on these forums. If Custom is the only option, and all GroupX data is stored in a single column in ParentTable, do you have any advice on how I could easily read this data in external applications.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Thanks in advance!

"all GroupX data is stored in a single column in ParentTable" is true, so no, it is not possible to have data in a separate table.
