Formidable stores the value for the Akismet field in the wp_frm_forms options field. All form options entered on the settings page are stored in this single field as a serialized array. If you've never seen a serialized array before, here's the options value from a form in my test environment:

replied 2 years ago IN order to update the Akismet setting for every form globally, you would have to create a custom PHP function that loads and unserializes this field so you can programmatically add the Akismet setting to the array. Then, reserialize the field and save it again. It's not an easy task and one that many developers would avoid. Unless you're highly skilled with PHP and MySQL functions, you'd be better off changing each form one at a time.
