Labels and Shared Data

Each custom field has a label that acts as its storage key. If two forms use a custom field with the same label and field type, they read and write to the same data on the contact record.

This is useful when multiple forms need to collect or display the same information — for example, a "T-Shirt Size" field on both a registration form and a donation form will share the same value.

WARNING

Renaming a custom field's label changes its storage key. The field will no longer read or write data saved under the previous label.
