Does anyone know how to make the default value in a field be equal to another field.

For example if I had a field called "Name" and I wanted that field contents to be the Default value in a field called "Name2". The idea is not having to input the value twice but leaving the possibility to change the value in field "Name2" "the default value" to another value if desired.

Custom calculation script.

Right-click on that field and select Properties from the context menu. Then go to the calculate tab.

There's always many ways to achieve this with javascripting.

In my case, this simple line of code worked for me:

event.target.value = this.getField("Name").value;

Use the script as custom calculation script in field "Name".

Where do I put that? I was thinking in the Default Value under options but that doesn't seem to work
