Can I use the same field in 2 different tabs ? on the same Module?

Peter Pavisic

Hi Team,

I have a field called 'Platform' that I would like to show in 2 different tabs under my Accounts module. Is this possible?

If not, does anyone know how to create a field that would copy the selection of another field? I.e if 'Platform' selection was "Cloud" the new field would automatically populate to "Cloud" also?

Thank you

    A given field can only appear once in a layout.

    I've found three ways to address this:

    1. Create a new field and set the calculated value as the field you want copied

    2. Create a new field and use the "related" function for the calculated value (this will also copy the value in a related module)

    3. Create a new field and use the "concat" function (I've done this with a few fields where I want the values of two fields to show)

    Note: These fields can't be edited since they are calculated.

    Enjoy!
