In some cases you may want the customer to enter the same text in more than one block. Rather than having the customer type the text twice, you can use a repeated text.
Repeated Text Using Styles
Styles allow you to create repeated fields by using the same field name more than once. If fields are named exactly the same, the text input into one field will also be inserted into any other field with the same name. This function will work if the fields are located in the same block, or in two different blocks on the page.
To implement this function within one block, first create and name a Style. The following is the text that our Style contains:
You are invited to %Club Name|Club Name%'s Bridal Show.
Come out and meet our preferred vendors, sample chef's cuisine and see how your perfect wedding starts and ends at %Club Name|Club Name%.
You will notice that the field 'Club Name' is used in the Style twice. This will automatically populate both fields with the text inserted in field 'Club Name'.
