    Hello! I’m curious about how Elementor handles form entries. Are these entries stored directly in a database, and if so, could you please clarify which database or table they’re stored in? I need to understand whether the entries are stored in the database or if they’re only displayed on the front-end.

    Additionally, if I import a database or table into the backend, will this activate the auto-populate feature in form fields? For example, if I enter my name and there’s existing information in the imported database (like Date of Birth, Job Position, etc.), will these details automatically fill out the corresponding form fields?

    @earlcanon Did you mean how Tablesome handles form entries?

    They are stored in the tables. Each Tablesome table corresponds to different custom tables in the Mysql database. You can match the table_id to the end of the Mysql table name.

    Auto-populate in the frontend form fields is not available.

    If my understanding is correct, the information or entries submitted to Tablesome are stored in the database rather than just being displayed on the front-end, correct?

    If my assumption is true, then these entries are automatically stored in database tables? Furthermore, if I name a table within Tablesome, does it directly correspond to a table with the same name in the database? This would make it easier for me to locate and review the specific table I need to access.

    Can you please enlighten me more with the table_id thing? Thank You

    @earlcanon The table is also displayed in the frontend which can be access by pressing View button in the All Tables page. You can also include the table in any page using the shortcode as shown in the backend table edit page or in the All Tables page. The table_id is the number shown in the shortcode itself.
