Copying a field value to another field can be incredibly useful for automating processes and ensuring data consistency. It ensures that information entered in one field is automatically populated in another, reducing the chance of errors or discrepancies.
To pass a field value to another field
- In the Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
- Select Conditions on the left.
- Add a new Update/Calculate Field condition.
- On the next page, set DO to Copy Field Value.
- Configure your condition rules, then select Save at the bottom.
In this example form, the condition is as follows:
- IF: Personal Email
- STATE: Is Filled
- DO: Copy Field Value
- FROM: Personal Email
- TO: Business Email
You can copy values between various field types, such as text boxes, email fields, or address fieldsets. This flexibility allows you to tailor your forms to specific use cases.

Hi there, I'd just like to add my voice to the comment from Griffin below about the need for populating an answer list based on the selections made at an earlier question. This is what I am also trying to do and thought Jotform would have this functionality. The workaround of using multiple dropdowns would require way too much set up when duplicated across multiple questions throughout a form. It would be good if Jotform would consider adding conditional logic for variables rather than just fields. Thank you

How about if I have a Checklist of email addresses?

I had error:
IF more than 1 emails are checked, multiple emails will be copied to the designed field (but not one

WHen a field has multiple fields, such as a Product Order, there is a strange phenomena:
In the 'condition' it lists all the subfields of MyProducts,
but in the action or calculation there is no way to reference these fields.
Is this a bug?
