Hi Shane,

If you added the 'billing email' field to the correct table, it should be associated with a reccordID for that customer. Each field in a table is given a unique recordID that allows Method to find the proper record. Take a look at some of the actions on the stock screens by making a copy and editing the copy. Look at the actions used to populate the fields. It's usually done by getting the current recordID. Also take a look at 'Assign Value to Shared Result'. That action allows you to set a variable that can be retrieved from another screen using the 'Get Value from Shared Result'. Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.

How do I auto populate data same field but different screens?

I need to be able to fill in data in a field and have it autofill that information in same field but on another screen. So that the fields essentially sync.

For example I have a field called billing email on my customer screen. But when I pull that customer up in an invoice I need it to populate billing email field on invoice with the billing email information stored in the customer screen.

I have looked at documentation but confused on which direction to go. Any help would be approeciated.
