I use the placeholder %CURRENT_USER_LAST_NAME% as a prefix of the table name where the data should be fetched from.
As every user will have his own table with data in our database.
But we also have an Admin user that should be able to switch between the multiple table prefixes. I could create an OR function with %VAR1% when %CURRENT_USER_LAST_NAME% can't be changed but i would like to know if there is a way to edit this value in the frontend.
Would be nice if i could create a pulldown menu with fixed values to select from
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

Hi, Jouke.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but with the current capabilities in our plugin,
it is not possible to achieve this.
You can make a development suggestion, and we will do our best to add a valid solution for this soon.
Please feel free to search on our suggestions page,
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
