Store Form Field Data to Multiple Tables

Then, click the form's Properties tab and navigate to the Advanced page. Choose Bean Shell Form Data Store as the Store Data Store.

Configure Bean Shell Form Data Store with your coding to store the fields as intended, as shown in the figure below. See the code used in this example in the following code block:
