Hello, I have a metabox fields that are the same fields in some CPT.
Is for that, that I write this:

'post_types' => array( 'local' , 'negocio' ),

But I want use MB Custom table, each table to each CPT, for this reason I write this:
```
'storage_type' => 'custom_table',    // Important
'table'        => array( 'locales' , 'negocios' ),
```
But I think that 'table' not supported the array field.

It's is posible to do this?
Or I have to duplicate the metabox fieds?
```
$meta_boxes[] = array (
    'id' => 'location',
    'title' => 'Códigos Post',
    'post_types' => array( 'local' , 'negocio' ), //$post_types,
        'context' => 'after_title',
        'style'   => 'seamless',
        'priority' => 'high',
        'geo' => array(
            'types' => array( 'establishment' )
        ),
        'storage_type' => 'custom_table',    // Important
        'table'        => array( 'locales' , 'negocios' ), //'locales', // Your custom table name
        'fields' => array(
            // Address field.
            array(
```
Thanks.

Hello,don't worry about this, I created the own metabox fields for each custom table.

Thanks.

Hello, sorry, I would like to reopen this thread.
To see if I can save the fields of a metabox in different tables of the database in function of the cpt that is. Is that if I do not have to triple or quadruple many metabox fields ...

Thanks.

Hi,

I think to remove the duplicated code, you can store all the fields in a variable $fields and set it for 2 meta boxes (each for each post type):
```
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {
    $fields = []; // your fields

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'post_types' => 'post_type_1',
        'custom_table' => 'table_1',
        'fields' => $fields,
    ];

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'post_types' => 'post_type_1',
        'custom_table' => 'table_1',
        'fields' => $fields,
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
} );
```
That way, you don't have to repeat a large part of code. Also see this tutorial.

What a good solution, I loved it, much easier to manage and with many fewer lines of code.

Thank you.
