I do not want them named the same as I don't want the second one appearing until after it is entered into the first field.

Hi,

If the form fields have the same name then the data entered in one field will be auto populated in other with the same name. For example, if there is a form field named custom field 1 in one document and there is another field with the same name(custom field 1) in the other document and you upload them together into a single transaction and send the document, then the data entered in custom field 1 in one document will be auto populated in custom field 1 of other document as well. This also applies for one document only as well.

Does this help?

So can I do that in EchoSign? I don't want them to be identical as I only want the signer to be able to fill in one field then it populate to the other.

you can use a calculated field as well. Though using duplicated fields can work too.

one question first, how are you adding the fields?

are you using the drag and drop tool, or using text tags in word, or acrobat form fields
