If there are fields that have the same ID/Name. Please follow the below:
- Get the duplicate fields ID in the Form then add an underscore and chronological order number after the field ID/Name - i.e Three FirstNames will have a record of FirstName_1(Can also be just FirstName), FirstName_2 and FirstName_3. We are using field_(index) format and not field(index) because there are fields with numbers in them like AddressLine1.
- When the admin wants to check the index or the chronological order of the duplicate fields, use the order of the Fields in the form builder to find the index
  NB! To get correct results, make the duplicate fields required.
NB! The ID/Name of the form fields under the Marketing tab can't be renamed. However, some of the form fields on the Marketing tab are also on the Form Elements tab - there you can rename the ID/Name of the form fields.
