I have one big CRM form divided into multiple tabs. Each tab is connected to an entity form and each entity form is displayed on its own web page. This way the portal users can submit the big form one tab at the time.
On the top of each tab in the big CRM form I have places an instance of the name-field ("workgroup"). This give the user context troguhout the experience of submitting the big form; the name serves as a heading on all the smaller entity forms.
Even tough the name-field is not placed more then once in each tab, the portal troughs this error:
"in_name field is present multiple times on this form. Only first field will be rendered in the UI"
I guess it's related to this update:
Take note that the update only states that the fix is for the generic error - not the functionality itself.
Can this be by design?
I need help finding a solution where I can display the name-field at the top of all the entity forms without dividing the big CRM form info multiple smaller forms.
Any ideas, guys?

I have the same question (0)Hi,
Not sure if this is also your thread: community.dynamics.com/.../294713
But as mentioned there, this is a known issue. Portals doesn't handle same field ultiple time well. And if I am not wrong, the reason is because when the field gets render in portal, it uses the schema name as the id of the HTML control which you cannot have duplicate.
CRM intelligently puts the incremental number if the same field is added multiple times but not portals. This is the same reason I had to create the separate forms.
Hope this helps.
