using CF5 for many years and now starting to use the new CF8 version, I missed some issdue that I would like to understand.

In CF5 you could create a dB table by selecting a button. By default, following fields were included: id,uniq_id, user_id, created and modified.

In CF8 there is (as far as I know) no such button for starting a table and therefore the fields must be entered manually in a new created dB table. 

That is no problem besides that field values like uniq_id, user_id, created and modified are not automatically entered resp. incremented.

Is there a workaround for this? It is very useful to be able to see that for data maintenance.

Hi kraadde

So you want the form to help you create custom tables ?

Would be great !  Or at least a way to add the data as user id, create and modified data automatically stored.

But you can easily add any extra fields using the "Modify Data Source" behavior:

user_id={user:id}
created={date:}
