Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
34.0.2

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be super helpful if responses could be directly inserted into a Nextcloud Tables App Table. This would allow admins to easily manipulate or append to records submitted through this app. It would also allow data from FormVox to easily be visualized in Nextcloud analytics.

Currently I have to manually export from FormVox, the import into my Nextcloud table.

Describe the solution you'd like
An export setting allowing a table to be selected, then providing a view to map form fields to table columns.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating a web hook to a custom external service that processes the form submission and inserts the data into my table.

Additional context

None - this app is far superior to the native Nextcloud Forms app so thank you!

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the form submission export flow and the existing integration boundaries, then determine how table selection and field-to-column mapping should fit them. Done should include native insertion into a selected table and a usable mapping view, with tests covering the integration.
