save data default fields in ChronoForms v8

How to save default fields like user ID and timestamps in ChronoForms v8.

Overview

ChronoForms v8 does not automatically save default fields such as user ID, creation date, or modification date.
Add these fields manually in the "Modify Data Source" section, ensuring all required fields have values to avoid NULL errors.

Am i right that CF8 does not by default saves user-id, create and modified data by default? can that be added?

following tables gives me an error message whenever i save data . Can you advise?

Hi kraadde

Yes, no default fields in v8, you just add them to the "Modify Data Source":

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

What error do you get with this table ? all fields are set to not accept NULL value which means that you must provide a value for ALL fields in the Save Data
