You may want to store certain fields from your form to other tables with the use of the Beanshell Form Binder. Figure 1 shows an example of a form where the first 3 fields are to be stored in another data source in addition to the original form data table.

Figure1: Form with Field to Store

 

Then, click on the form "Properties" tab and navigates to "Advanced" page. Choose "Bean Shell Form Binder" as Store Binder.

Figure 2: Choose Bean Shell Form Binder as the Store Binder

 

Configure Bean Shell Form Binder with your own coding to store the fields as intended, as shown in the figure below.

Code used in this example:
