      Hello,

      is it possible to store the data from the meta boxes in custom tables? I understand I can use scope to save data to different wordpress inherent tables, but for example wordpress saves postmeta as longtext even if I were to store just numbers or dates. I would appreciate any hint on how I can store data to a different table, or maybe the same table I just would add some columns to, with different data types. This would improve the time for searching and aggregating objects.

      Kind regards

      @sajonara– This will eventually be doable by defining a custom scope, but not yet.

        I thought in this direction. I won’t mind asking if you have an ETA, but maybe you do. ^^

        I guess it would be easier to gather custom data to populate those fields? Like instead of using get_posts for a select field for example, one could use a custom foreach loop with an $wpdb-object, right?
