Same radio buttons (groups) on two pages

Two-pages PDF with forms: for the most part the same - first page for company, second for client. Contains the same forms (differences just on top, marked as copy for client or for company + some extra frames on companys copy).

In Acrobat Pro DC i made and copied the forms from the first page to the second, so they have same names, and after filling them on first page, same forms are automatically filled on second too (as intended).

OK for text fields and check boxes. Problem just with radio buttons - changes in them are not copied to second page. And when radio button is checked on second page, radio buttons in same group on first page will be unchecked.

For now, i deleted copied radio buttons on second page (3 groups with 2 to 4 radiobuttons) and created new ones (with new names). They can by filled independently (changes on one page will not mark/unmark radios on other page). Better, but not perfect solution.

Is it possible to make radio-buttons work same as text and check boxes? So, when filling on first page, changes are automatically copied to second page (and when somebody make changes on second page, they are copied to first page too).

Thanks for any advice (and patience with my English).

Go to the Properties of one of these radio-buttons, and under the Options tab tick the "Buttons with the same name and choice are selected in unison" box.
