    I created a table linked to an existing data source from a Forminator form. The columns in the table keep track of a few inputs from the form, but I also want the ability to add a custom column that does not come from any form inputs. I have one short code that creates a downloadable pdf based on the submissions, and I want to use this short code to populate a column in the table with these pdf links. Is there currently a way to do this?

    Or alternatively, is there a way to use the pdf feature in Forminator Pro and connect it to the data table. For example, adding an extra column that has all the pdf upload links for each form submission?

    Hello,
    We do not have any way to add a Custom Column for a Table linked from a Forminator Form.
    You can only choose from the Form’s available Fields, which Columns will be shown/rendered in our Table.

    The only Table type which can add Custom Columns is our Manual table type – but that is only available in the Premium Version – and that table type can not be linked to any Form as a data source.

    2. In regards to the alternative use-case you described;
    If you add an additional Field to the source Form, which will store the links for PDF’s, in that case it should work –

    you can output PDF links in our Table’s URL Column and/or String Column types, depending on how the source URL will be formatted.
    ( In other words – if the Form Field will save the link just as the link without any Custom HTML like “a href” , then you can use our URL Column type;
    Or if the Form Field will wrap the link inside its own Custom HTML “a href” links – then you can use our String Column type to render it);

    If you need more details about the Forminator integration, please open a Post on the Page for our Forminator integration Add.

    On this Page, we are focused on the Main Plugin, wpDataTables.

    Kind regards.
