Reuse same field in different forms under Same Entity?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Debleena92 5

Hi ,

I have two forms  A and B currently which belong to the same entity . Both the forms are using the same  field ,lets say description . Description is labelled as description in form A, whereas labelled as Short Description in Form B (schema name remains the same)

I used some business rules on short description in form B ,lets say making the description blank on load of Form B.

There are some existing BR on Description on Form A. 

Can these fields act independently on different form under the same entity with their own set of BR? Or,is it recommended to create a new field all together?

I have the same question (0)

    HI,

    It is recommended to create new field because when you set field value, same value will be visible on other field on the other form.

    You have option to select the form on which you would like to run your Business Rule so you can utilize that to see if having same field is sufficient else go with new field.

    Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!
