 * Hello,
   I need to set the default value of a field to match the value of another
   field, but I’m unable to get it to work. It only works if I enter a specific 
   number.
 * When I set the default value to the name of another field, it takes the numeric
   part of the field name as the value instead of the actual field value (e.g., 
   _fieldname38_ becomes 38, but I need the value of _fieldname38_).

 * I hope this is clear. How could I solve this?
   Thank you.
