I am filling out a form that I have to have multiple copies of with different data in the fields. I have copied the form 10 times. When I fill in the data in the form field on one copy it changes the data in every copy. How can I fill in the data on page one and not change the data every copy.
Thanks.

You will need to uniquely name each field, as any 2 fields with the same name have the save value property and a number of other common properties.

The advanced way to make a form with multiple copies of the form and have unique names for each copy is to create a template and spawn copies using the template and have the fields automatically renamed.
