Question

Preparing form field that default fills text from another field but is able to be manually changed

Hi, 
I want to prepare a form where a field defaults to the Text of another field but is able to be changed without also changing the text in the reference field. 

e.g. The answer to question 1. "Family contact" name is most likely to be the answer to question 20. "Applicant Name" but in some instances they are different. I would like field 20 to prefill with the text in field 1 but would like the person completing the form to be able to alter the text in field 20 when needed, without it also altering the text field 1. 

Is this possible? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    As 'Validation' script of 'field 1' use this:

    this.getField("field 20").value = event.value;

    Just change field 20 to your actual name for that field if it's not 'field 20'.
