    Hi,
    I have a form with multiple pages. On the first page, a user enters text in a text field. I’d like to display this text in another text field on the next page. A calculated field works, but I need the text to be multi-line.

    Thank you in advance,
    Jim

    Hello @jimdvm

    Thank you very much for using our plugin. For multi-line texts, you need textarea controls. You can use a calculated field to assign a textarea field’s value to another one in the field.

    I’ll try to describe the process with an example. Assuming you have two textarea fields, fieldname1, and fieldname2, and want to assign the value of fieldname1 to the fieldname2.

    Insert a calculated field that you will use as an auxiliary. You can hide it by ticking a checkbox in its settings. And then enter the equation:

    getField(fieldname2|n).setVal(fieldname1|r, true);

    The previous code gets the fieldname2 object, and assign to it the raw value of the fieldname1.

    Best regards.
