I have a form which is ten pages long.  I need to add additional copies of page two nto the form, but be able to complete the fields with different values.  How do you create copies of the form page and have the fields renamed so the values don't change on each page.  Or do you have to change every field name on every additional form page added to the form.

Use the page as template and spawn the page with the rename option.

Fields with the same name in a file will have the same value, always.

To avoid that you have to rename them, either before or after merging the two files. Or you could spawn copies using a Template object, as was mentioned, but that is a bit more complicated to do.

 

If you're interested I've developed a (paid-for) tool that does just that. You can find it here:
