I have a CPT called health_forms I want to change the post title to be the custom fields lastname firstname.

I had it working with just the lastname until I changed it to a custom table.

The custom fields are being saved in a table wpml_health_form

How would I go about doing this as I am very new to PHP.

Thank you

Hi Quint,

You need to have a custom table to save the data. Create a table:
- By coding: follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/#creating-custom-tables
- By using the Builder: check the option Create table automatically, screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/qGu5E4WO

Hi Long,

Yes that's what I did, I checked off create table automatically.

I am also using oxygen if that helps.

Resolved in the ticket system.

Change the code to this
```
$firstname = rwmb_meta( 'firstname', ['storage_type' => 'custom_table', 'table' => 'wpml_health_form'], $post_id );
$lastname = rwmb_meta( 'lastname', ['storage_type' => 'custom_table', 'table' => 'wpml_health_form'], $post_id );
```
