What is the best practice or preferred method of duplicating fields on the same record, when that additional field would be for information only?
In other words, we don't want to actually store data for that field. That would be a waste of resources. We want something like a label that copies content over from another field. Like an annotation sort of.
This form has multiple tabs. In this tab is a writable field "specific recommendations."
In the next tab, our customer wants to duplicate that same field. I managed to accomplish this by creating a new field, and setting the calculated value field to assign the contents of the original field to the second field.
The problem with this approach, is that data gets permanently saved in the field, taking up unnecessary storage space. If I run a report on that additional field, the data shows up in the report.
We don't want that. We want a label, or information only.
An annotation won't work because it is static. I couldn't figure out how to manipulate it with code.
