I will answer your question below, but I have to say it is usually not a good idea to have the same information captured in different fields on the form. Eventually you will want to run some report by customer and you'll have a mess on your hands with the customer being on multiple places on the form and perhaps the customer name spelled differently on each tab.
Now just to be clear about my interpretation of what you were saying, you seem to be saying that you were capturing for example the customer name in two different fields with two different field names.
But having said that if you do have a field that needs to be auto filled from another field, you can have a form rule that says the following
Where multiple conditions are true
my customer name field number two is blank and my customer name field one is not blank copy then actin
Copies of value from customer name number one into the field customer name number two.
Remember to uncheck the box at the very bottom of the form so that this fires all the time.
Going back to what would be a better set up, for Common fields it would be better to have those fields at the top of the form and then have the tabs below that says it's a common information is seen by our users for all tabs and then on the tabs there's only unique information just for that tab.
