Try putting the collection in a c_object and store the c_object in an c_object field, or put the collection directly into the c_object field
I am assuming that $tableObj is the object reference to the table. If tables are anything like images, your plan might not work. Each time a document is opened any images in the document gets a new object reference. If that is the case with tables, your stored references will not work.
