Can you link fillable fields so that if information is entered into one, it will fill another with the same information.

Yes you can. The easiest way is to add two fields to your form using the same field name. Anything typed in field 1 will appear in field 2.

If you want to add the same data to a second field based on conditional responses, then you'd have to use a JavaScript.

hen I try to use the same object name for two different fields, LiveCycle Designer automatically adds a unique name with numeric number in brackets. How do I force the same name for each text field object.
