If your form contains two fields, 'foo' and 'bar', there are several ways to accomplish this objective including:

// form1.page1.subform1.foo::exit - (JavaScript, client)

form1.page1.subform1.bar.rawValue = form1.page1.subform1.foo.rawValue;

// form1.page1.subform1.bar::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

this.rawValue = form1.page1.subform1.foo.rawValue;

Purists might tend toward the calculate approach.

Hi Steve

i am not very confortable with Java

do you mind to explain me how to do

I have two fields one into the Page #1 (Company_Name)  and another one into the page #2 (Company_Name)

Hi,

In addition to Steve's scripting you can set the binding of the field(s) to "Global" in the Object / Binding tab. This will work if both fields have exactly the same name in the hierarchy (Company_Name).

In fact any object with the same object name will inherit the value put in on page 1.

Good luck,
