How to link form fields throughout a portfolio? I want to be able to enter a name and ID number in different forms.

    This is true of any two (or more) documents whether in a Portfolio or not. All the forms would need to be opened and have their "disclosed" property set to true. Once all of the documents in question are disclosed, you can use JavaScript to get and set field values. For example to populate the name field in the current form from one that already had the name field filled out use...

    this.getField("name").value = myOtherDoc.getField("name").value;
