I imported fields from Toolset into Meta Box. I noticed that "Save field value" is not enabled for these fields. Does that make sense? Should I enable them, as this is the default?
This option does not work with the Block editor. So if you are using the Classic editor, please enable it for all custom fields.

I'm using Gutenberg. I must admit that I don't understand what this option is doing exactly. Is it only for the editor behavior and has nothing to do with how the field is saved to the database?
So, in my case I should disable this for all fields?
By default, the field value should be saved to the database (table wp_postmeta). But in some advanced cases, you do not want to save the value to the default table and want to use that value for other purposes like sending emails, or updating another field value ... then you can use the Classic editor and disable this option.
If you use the Block editor (Gutenberg), just don't pay attention to this, the field value is still saved to the database.
