    Hi! I'm using custom table to store the fields data.

    To make it easy to manage on PHPMyAdmin, I would like to create a text field (name_cb) to store the same value as the post title.

    How can I set the value of the name_cb field automatically when I create/edit a post? If I change the post title, the value of this field will be updated to it also.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    You can use the function \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add() or \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update() and hook to the action save_post to update a field in a custom table automatically. Please read more on these documents
