The simplest way to do it is to apply the following custom calculation script to this field:

if (event.target.name!="P3.CA PG 1 TEMP.recipient") event.value = this.getField("P3.CA PG 1 TEMP.recipient").valueAsString;

The names of spawned form fields are predictable. They contain the template name, the new page number and the original field name.

I have multiple template pages within this form. I have added buttons that allow the user to put different pages in different locations in the form. Example: This field "P3.CA PG 1 TEMP.recipient" can appear on multiple pages. I want to use JavaScript to transfer the value entered on page one to the other field(s) create on all other template pages.
