Disappearing text in a form

[RachStewart]

I’m new to live cycle and have set up a flowable form which I seem to be having some issues with. 

As each sheet of the form needs to contain the company branding, the name of the member of staff completing the form and the date, I have set it up using a master page which includes some images for the branding, a text field for the name and a date field, all the other content for the form sits on the subform page one so the text field will flow onto numerous pages if required.

When text flows onto more than one page anything that has been typed in the text field set up in on the master page disappears and has to be re-entered, all other text fields within the form are fine.

Why does this happen and how can I stop the text from disappearing?

Thanks

Did you set the binding of those masterpage fields to 'global'?

Every repeated masterpage represents a new instance with its own data window.

To have the same data in all the instances the binding needs to be global.

Thank you...such a simple thing that I hadn't checked!!
