Multiple field autofill based on one input field

Hello all,

I am currently creating PDF forms with Writer (awesome tool!) and would like to know how I can get fields like the form number to be entered only once and have them automatically appear in designated areas/fields on every page.

We are not planning any database connection etc. We are running LibreOffice 7.3. Users use Adobe PDF-Reader for filling out forms.

Happy for any hint :slight_smile:

  1. The fields must have the same names.
  2. You must allow duplicate field names when exporting to PDF (File → Export As → Export as PDF…).

PKG, thank you so much for helping out that fast!
Works like a charm :ok_hand:

Is there anything else that needs to be done or has it changed in recent versions? Just these two steps alone don’t seem to do the trick.

I have a doc with 3 fields, all named identically, and have the option to allow duplicate names enabled. The exported PDF does not auto-fill any of the fields, I still have to copy/paste the value into the fields I need it in every time a PDF needs to be filled out.
