    Hi there, I am trying to create a form with 3 separate address fields (Physical, Billing & Mailing) using the information in the article "Form Users Can Easily Copy the Content Between Fields" but I cannot seem to find the "checkbox" element mentioned in the article. Can someone please help me out? Thanks!

    Using Chrome Dev tools (CTRL+SHIFT+J), you can get the checkbox id by pressing and holding CTRL + SHIFT + C in your keyboard then hovering your mouse to the field.

    If you are referring to your form https://form.jotform.com/90065763777165, I'm not seeing any checkbox field. Can you please confirm?

    Looking forward for your response.

    That is correct I have not added a checkbox to the form, because I cannot locate the "checkbox" option from the Basic tab under Form Elements as shown in the help article I referenced above.

    I am sorry for the trouble caused to you. Please note that multiple choice field is checkbox field. Please go ahead and "Multiple Choice" in your form.  Please check the screenshot below:

    I have entered the checkbox and located the label id (

    <label id="label_input_40_0" for="input_40_0"> Same Address as above </label>), but I am not sure what the next steps would be. Can someone please help me out?

    Your chebox ID is #input_40_0. What part of the steps are you now on?

    Please note that you will need to download the form source for this form https://form.jotform.com/90065763777165 and host it somerwhere else. If you don't have one, you will need to purchase some hosting site like iPage, GoDaddy etc.. to host your custom form. That custom form will include the script that is explained in this guide https://www.jotform.com/help/107-Form-Users-Can-Easily-Copy-The-Content-Between-Fields.

    Do you have an account where you can host your form's source code? By the way, there's an easy way to copy the values from one field to another and that is by conditional rule.

    This method is much easier and you don't need to host your form. Please check our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/268-How-to-Insert-Text-or-Calculation-into-a-Field-Using-Conditional-Logic.
