Adding New Field in Existing Table

Add a new field to an existing database table for a ChronoForms form.

Overview

The issue occurs when you need to store data from a newly added form field in a pre-existing database table that already contains collected data.
Use a database management tool like PHPMyAdmin to manually add the required column to your table, which will then allow the form to store data in that new field.

I have a form that is already associated with a table and I already have data, collected via the form, in that table.

I need to add another text field to the form and and have that data stored in the table, as well.

Creating the additional text field in the form was not an issue, but how do I add a field to the existing table to start collecting the additional data?

This may be really simple and I am just over thinking it.

Thanks

Hi wagman67,

Using PHPMyAdmin is probably the easiest way. Please see this FAQ for some others.

Well that was easier than I thought it would be.
Just add the appropriate field, via PHPMyAdmin, and presto...works.

Thanks for the pointer.
Great Product!
