Duplicating form fields without duplicating the name?

[ss36540]

Is it possible to copy or duplicate multiple fields from one page to another, but have it create new, unique field names?  I am having to go to each individual field and change the name, one at a time - so tedious and frustrating!!!

You can automatically rename fields when duplicating on one page, using : right-clic : Create Multiple Copies

Then copy-paste (in place) on other pages.

Otherwise, you can use a "dot naming" convention for fields' names.

So you can easily rename multiples files by editing the root in the Field pane:

page1.user1.name

page1.user1.address

page1.user2.name

page1.user2.address

etc.

Copy-paste all fields then rename all in one clic and one input:

(clic the A/Z menu to sort fields by name)

page2.user1.name

page2.user1.address

page2.user2.name

page2.user2.address

etc.
