ModeratorHi,
Yes, it's possible to save the data from Frontend Submission to a custom table in the same database. But please note that the field ID must match with the column key of the custom table.
For more information, please follow the documentation:

ModeratorHi,
You can add the attribute
post_type
to the shortcode to define the post type to save data.[mb_frontend_form id="cliente" post_fields="title,content" post_type="budget"]
Read more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#shortcode-attributes.
