Contact Form 7 Honeypot hidden field is stored in DB

    I have installed and created a contact form using Contact Form 7, Contact Form 7 Honeypot, and Database for CF7 (your plugin).

    I have sent test contact form messages and all seems to be working well. The messages are saved in the DB table created by “Database for CF7”. I can view the messages.

    However, I noticed that the “Contact Form 7 Honeypot” hidden field is included with all the other contact form fields in the CF7 DB table:

    your-name your-email URL your-subject your-message “Remote IP” “Submitted time”

    In this example, “URL” is the hidden honeypot field, and I am guessing that it will always be blank–otherwise, the contact message would not be sent and saved in the DB.

    Can you add a change to not populate (and show) this hidden field in your DB table?

    I noticed that the Honeypot plugin added a change in the latest version (1.14) that may support this request. From the Honeypot plugin Changelog:

    1.14
    Added do-not-store for when forms are stored in the DB (i.e. Flamingo). Improved wrapper ID masking and customization.

    Thanks!
