[Designer] Duplicate values in same named fields

Avatar

Former Community Member
I have a Designer form that has a year field on page one and the same field on a master page. How do I get all these fields to show the same value when I add or change the value in the field on the first page? An Acrobat form allows one to do this as long as all the fields are named the same but Designer doesn't work the same way.



Or where can I go to read about how to do this? Or what do I look up in the Designer help to find something about it?

Try setting the binding of the fields with the same name to global. You only need to set one and the rest will be changed automatically.

Great. Also how do I make fields read only?

You select it from the type drop down box in the GUI under Object->Value.

I was too quick to ask. I just found it seconds before your reply. Thanks though for the response.

Also, can you set the same field to be Global and also bind it to a db record?



Default Binding:

$record.DataConnection.Field as well as Global?

I doubt it, but you could use global binding and set the value of the field from the value in the data connection in a script.
