    Does Metabox support auto create of a custom table with the appropiate database datatypes based on the custom field? So for example having a a numeric custom field creates a numeric datatype in the database also? I know some of the other competitors do this automatically, but I can't seem to find this functionality within Metabox. Am I missing something?

    Hello Annemijn,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Currently, the auto-create custom table feature only supports creating the table with TEXT data type. It will work with all field types created by Meta Box. Please read more in the documentation

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks, that's a bummer. Any chance it will be coming in the future?
