Prevent a Field From Saving in the Database
Convert Forms does not support preventing a specific field from saving in the database. However, you can remove the field value from the database after the submission.
If you want to stop Convert Forms from saving the entire submission, you can do so by reading the dedicated documentation page: Disable Submission Storage in Convert Forms.
Setup
To remove a field value from the database, place the following code into the PHP Scripts → After Form Submission option in the form builder.
\ConvertForms\Api::updateSubmissionField($submission→id, 'FIELD_NAME_HERE');
Replace FIELD_NAME_HERE with the name of the field you would like to remove from the database
