Single notes box in 2 locations on a form?

While it is not recommended to do that, the current QuickBase forms (at least on the current forms  but who knows about the new Forms UI whenever they come) do a pretty good job of protecting you when you manage to have the same data entry field twice on the same form. When you do type into one appearance of a data entry field it does mirror into the other appearance of that same field automatically. 

The reason they did that enhancement many years ago is the new users were actually accidentally put the same filter on the form twice and because the second field was blank you just were confused when they save their data that the data entry they did in the first appearance of the field with mysteriously disappear. That is because the second appearance of the data entry field takes precedent upon saving. 

But it is tricky to put a data entry field on the form twice, as you have to trick the form into allowing that.

Also, whenever new forms UI comes into place you never know how it will behave when the same data entry field is on the form twice.
