I am setting up a form that has a comments section. The comments section consist of multiple boxes (font size and font set) to ensure the text doesn't change so that it stays over the lines in form design. I want to take the entire text from all box fields and copy to one individual box on a separate page. I am sure this will require script of some sort, can anyone help me to do this?

Sure, it can be done using a script. Let's say the individual fields are called Comment1, Comment2, Comment3 etc.

Use this code as the custom calculation script of the multiline field where you want to show the combined value:

event.value = this.getField("Comment1").valueAsString + "\n" + this.getField("Comment2").valueAsString+ "\n" + this.getField("Comment3").valueAsString;
