Linking Form Fields

Q: How Can I link form fields together so that I can enter information in one field and the other fields show the same value?

 A: One or more fields can be linked together to make the same data populate each instance. This is helpful for putting dates or client names on every page of the document.

Note: Radio buttons can be grouped in a similar way, by giving them the same name, you will also have to make sure the Radio Button Choice under the Options tab is also labeled the same.
