Hi all,
I am working on a digital journal. I have a page with three fillable fields. I copied this page so that users have the same page for every day of the month.

 

In testing it, I'm finding people are tellig me the copy they put in the first page repeats in the same field in the next page. 

 

How do I fixi this? 
Thanks!

Use unique names for the fields.

You can use a template page and spawn the template page.

Change the fields names :

Ex- If field names on page 1  is  Text1, Text2, Text3

then fields names on page 2 should be different ex - Text4, Text5, Text6  and so on... for subsequent pages

So if I have three fields and 31 pages, I need 93 field names?
