Updated form not saving new field to database

driv 22 Nov, 2016
Hi Bob,
I have a multipage form that saves to a database table.

I've just had to add another checkbox to the form.
I manually added the extra field to the database table via phpMyAdmin.

The form still works and all the original data is saving but the one new checkbox data won't save.
I've checked and double checked the spelling and capitalisation but I'm not getting anywhere.

Any thoughts on where I could be going wrong?

Thanks as always.

(I'd already read the faq's mentioned above.)

FYI the field name in the form is double_space
The corresponding MySQL field is double_space
Field type is varchar(255) utf8_general_ci

Thanks again.

HI driv,

Please click the 'Clear cache' icon in the Forms Manager toolbar to update the CF records. That should do it I hope.

Bob

PS I've updated the CFv5 FAQ to include this suggestion.

Yes that was it.
(Which is a little embarrassing as I don't think I've even noticed that function before 😶 )

Many thanks Bob - your help is always appreciated!
