Save a custom html in a a table column

Save custom HTML content in a database table column using ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue arises when trying to save custom HTML content from a form into a specific database column, as standard field placeholders don't apply.
Create a text area field in your form and use it as a data source. In the text area's value, combine your desired data and HTML using placeholders, then reference this field name in your Save DB action to insert all content into one column.

Hi I use save db action instead of email and in my save db action I added data source.

For a text field or any other field I used {data:field_value} but for custom HTML what to use ?

Example my field is name and value name
I have added a custom html with unit name html_code_24

Ex:
Table field name Value Value Type Action
name {data:name} Use Value Insert
