Hi,
I need to add about 500 checkboxes to a document. It is much faster to copy and paste the checkboxes because of the format of the document.
Is there a javascript out there I can use to make sure each time I copy and paste a checkbox that it recieves a unique name and is NOT linked to the original?
Not a coder so I would appreciate any help here! Thanks!

Select 'Prepare form' tool, right click on checkbox and select 'Create multiple copies'.

No. JS can't do that. You will have to write a loop to create each field separately, and then you would be able to give it a unique name.
