Fields on a Form More Than Once
Quote from Lori Popoff on June 7, 2021, 3:29 pmWe are able to drop a field on a form more than once as long as it is in a different section. Unfortunately, the field only displays in the first location once the form is published. Can this be changed to display everywhere we drop it? We understand the value of the field is the same in all instances. We are still in the process of converting all of our InfoPath forms to Nitro and this is functionality we are losing.

Currently it is not supported. As an alternative, we can use below work arounds:
1. Convert sections to tabs, this will show the same column in multiple tabs.
2. Create NITRO Managed columns and configure form event actions to copy the value from a column. This will not require changing the sections into tabs.
For example, if we have added "column 1" in two different sections, create one managed column i.e. "NITRO column 1" and add 'column 1' in one section and "NITRO column 1" in another section.
Next configure form event actions to copy the value of 'Column 1' to 'NITRO column 1' on column value change in 'Column 1' and vice versa.Syntax to copy the value: [Column Internal Name]
