Populate field value from previously saved document?

Hi All

I have a Form which we use to create maintenance cost for vehicles. Data entry is carried out as ‘batches’ , i.e. there may be 50 separate documents for certain batch, which has same date. In this regard data entry operators need to create 50 different documents, having entering same date value for date Field in this Form.

I just wondering when someone creating a document whether it is possible to populate date field value from previously saved document to a new document’s date field ?

Is this possible?

Or can someone suggest a way of handling this type of issue please?

Yes…this can be done. In the form properties, check the property “Formulas inherit values from selected documents”. In the default value formula of the date field, enter its field name.

When creating document batches, the user needs to open a new document from an existing saved document or by selecting a saved document from the view.
