Linking "Parent Fields" to "Spawned Page Fields"

Looking for a way to link fields from parent to spawned page fields. I want to be able to fill parent form in and when a specific page is spawned certain fields autofill.

I've linked all parent fields to fill when needed, but not sure what script to use for spawned fields.

When you spawn the page simply set the bRename parameter to false and the

fields on the spawned pages will automatically have the same names, ans

therefore the same values, as the original fields.

Hi.

I want to be able to fill parent form in and when a specific page is spawned certain fields autofill.

Beware that is not possible for "certain fields" only, the bRename parameter apply to none or to all of the fields (true or false).

Thanks, the spawned page will not have all the same fields as the parent page, it is actually a whole different form that only some of the fields will apply, just trying to cut down on redundancy of typing.
