thats another question i have, when i have generic custom fields in the cred form, which means for example a file to upload with their licence document of the property, where will that document, word or pdf file (or any other information of a generic field) be stored? as i need to ask some information which not needs to be published such as licence, ....

thank you for your help.

Generic fields are not stored in the database. They are meant to be used by custom code hooked to Forms hooks: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/

The files will be uploaded to the upload directory, but they won't be saved in the database. You will need to implement some custom code to save them where you need them. The uploaded files' information will be available in the $_FILES array.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
