Duplicate text box and dropdown issue

Question

Good Day Experts,

So, my issue today is that I have copied text boxes and some copied dropdown boxes throughout several pages of my forms. As known, if you check "required" or "read-only," it affects all the other copies as well. My goal is to have one text box and dropdown to allow entry and all the rest be read-only. Is this possible?

Read-only is a field level property so it's not possible with the same field name.  Use two different field names (one for the data entry field and another for all the read-only fields).  In one of the read-only fields enter the following custom calculation script:event.value=this.getField("Entry").value;Change "Entry" to the actual field name.
