I have been experiencing some problems copying radio buttons.

I am creating a customer satisfaction survey in pro 8 using live cycle designer. I have lots of questions with the customer response for each question being a scale from 1-5.

i copy the first set of buttons and wrap it into a new group for the next question; however the value that i allocated to each button changes and I have to manually reallocate the values. What am i doing wrong?

Also is there a way of copying a whole page of form fields from one document to another. In the above example I tried to copy all the fields form a previous survey
ino the new form, but again it lost all its values and names.

Thanks

Copying radio buttons is a problem. The only way I've gotten it to work well is by placing the group in a subform, and then copying the subform. This preserves the names and export values.

The correct way to copy items between documents is to create a custom library component. Again, wrap everything you want to copy in a subform and then drag and drop the subform into the custom library tab.
