Hello, How can I get all values of a specific field with php (programmatically with the help of code snippet)? I have checked function FrmProEntriesController::get_field_value_shortcode but this will return one value based on entry_id or user_id. How can I get all field values? Thank you in advance!

I am confused by your question. What do you mean "all field values"? What type of field is it? What is your use case?

The question is a little confusing based on the title. Do you mean you want to see all the values for a single field regardless of entry or user id. For example, if you have 10 entries by 10 different users, you want to see the content for field A for all 10 entries. Is that correct?

If so, create a view to display the field and don't apply any filters or other constraints.

Yes @Victor Font, I'd like to have all field values in a php array or object programmatically, as I'm writing a code snippet. This is easy to be done visually with views but I'd like to store these values of a specific field in an array or object.

In that case you'll want to familiarize yourself with the FrmEntry (and similar) functions to get the entries from a form and do whatever you want with them. See https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/php-examples/ and https://formidable-masterminds.com/how-frmentrygetall-works/ to start
