    Hi,
    During the creation of a custom field, many changes were carried out.
    So, I deleted the custom table to start fresh with all the correct fields.
    Now it seems the table is not recreated, even with "auto create table" and the table name is provided in the settings.
    What goes wrong?

    What shall I do, to force MetaBox to re-create a custom table?

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I tested to create a new field group with some simple fields like text, number ... and see the custom table is automatically created as well.
    Can you please export your field group to a JSON file and share it here? I will help you investigate the issue.

    In the meantime, you can use the PHP code to create a custom table https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/#using-custom-tables-with-code
    and remove the code after the table is created.
