I need to create a form that has several drop down fields. What I would like to do is if an option is selected in drop down field can I get that same answer in several other fields?

Here's an article on using List Fields. It shows how to copy place a selected value into another field.

If you want several fields to have the same value then they should be given the same name and set to Global Binding.
