How do I add an extra field to an existing form?

Leethyl 05 Jul, 2010
Hi,

I know that the simple answer is to open the form wizard and add the form field and save but what if you are saving all submitted data to a database table? After adding an extra field, how do I make sure that field is ALSO saved to the database?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Leethyl,

You need to refresh the DB Connection after any changes to database column names. In the Form Editor click the DB Connection tab and set the Connection to 'No'. Click the 'Apply icon in the toolbar to save the form, open the DB Connection tab, set the Connection back to 'Yes' and re-save the form. This will refresh the copy of the table information that ChronoForms uses.

Thanks Grey but what about the extra field on the table? Do I manually need to add that by clickin on the Table Manager and editing the table and then adding the field there?

Hi Leethyl ,

Yes, exactly that.
