Add custom POST data to CFDB

Hello,

CF7DB saves very well form from CF7 and use data from $_POST to create the new columns in the admin of CF7DB.

But I need to add a custom column. I know that I need to edit $_POST by adding something like $_POST[“mycolumn”] = “test” but it does not work if I do that in wpcf7_before_send_mail.

add_action(‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘_wpcf7_before_send_mail’, 4);

function _wpcf7_before_send_mail4($cf7)
$_POST[“testabc5555”] = “test”;

// Get current form
$wpcf7 = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current();

// Get current SUBMISSION instance
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

if ($submission) {
// get submission data
$fields = $submission->get_posted_data();

// fields will NOT contain the $_POST[“testabc5555”]
var_dump($field);
}
}

It WORKS in wp_loaded but I do not have access to $cf7 because I think CF7 is not instancied. So this is not the solution because I need to know the ID or the name of the form… (I have several forms on my website and only one need the custom column)

add_action(‘wp_loaded’, ‘_wp_loaded’, 10, 1);

function _wp_loaded($cf7)
$_POST[“testabc5555”] = “test”;
}

So, where should I add $_POST[“testabc5555”] = “test”; ? Please note that “test” is an example. My real value is dynamic so I can not use it with an hidden field.

Thanks for your help
