CF7 - Create DB table from form manually - How to?

iwoxx 05 Jan, 2021
Hi, I built a form in CF7 and understand that I'll have to create a table via SQLMyAdmin on myself.
I did so from an older video tutorial but it doesn't work.
There is only a text field "text_1" and file upload field "file_2" on the form.
I can relate the table, set the action and data sets.
Data Log works but not writing into the manually created table.
Maybe the sample in the video is no longer valid and I am missing something.
Please find attached the "Save Data" screenshot and how the DB table looks like!
Help needed urgently!
Thank you very much!

Kind Regards

Hi,
I solved it with another forum entry telling me that the Save Data Action must be in the end page section to work properly.
Now it works as expected!

PS: For a newbie in CF 7 with no former versions in use it is really hard to understand and handle it correctly without any user manual. I really believe that your tool has all the features that I need for my projects. But to find, understand and work with them takes so much time for me without any documentation. Some things I could derive from older articles but this is not that easy. And will have to file more entries in the forum as I struggle at many points of the product how to achieve what I need!
