Data is self-populating to other areas on the form.

Question

I created a form to gather information on a speaker presentation form. Whenever someone types in the information for the primary person, it populates the secondary person's fields exactly the same. The same is true the other way around. I went in and renamed the fields and it is still happening, in address only now.

Why is this happening? Please help, Nancy

You very likely have form fields with the same name in your different areas of the form. Any field that shares the name of another field, will automatically be populated with the same data as that other field. This means that if you have five fields all called "FirstName", and you fill in data into the first field with that name, all these five fields will show the same information.

To fix this, you will have to use unique names.
