How to copy-paste a button's action

Dear all,

I have an Interactive PDF exported from InDesign, where most pages have two buttons.

One will show layer 2 and hide layer 3, and the other will hide layer 2 and show layer 3.

After setting this up on the first relevant page I wondered how I could optimise the process of duplicating this action, since all buttons are named the same way. 

From the context menu I noticed that I could duplicate the button on other pages, problem being that LH pages have the buttons on the top left, while RH pages have it on the top right, making this not ideal. 

Is there a way to copy the action and paste it to all equally named buttons, since I gave a name to those buttons in InDesign?

Thank you

You can only do it if the action of the field is to execute JS code. Then you could use a script to apply the same action to multiple fields, using the setAction command.

OH, good to know, thanks! I'll proceed manually, not too long anyway!
