cf8 - db save action for external databases: table name cannot be saved
Max_admin Max_admin 25 Jan, 2024
I tested this here, I write the table name in the Table dropdown field and save the action, the table name is still there when I open the form for editing again

how do you produce this issue ?

DB Save Action + External DB

I cannot enter/save a table name here.

With the Read Action it works with external DB settings and manually entering the table.

Actions -> DB Read Data -> wrote a tablename (test) -> The name can be saved
Actions -> DB Save Data -> wrote a tablename (test) -> The name cannot be saved

For external databases I have to enter the table name manually! This works for DB Read, not DB Save!

I can type in the name, but when I leave the table field, the name I entered disappears.
