    Is it possible to use the same field on 2 different forms? I don't want to have to duplicate my work so I'm hopeful I can do this.

    I am not exactly sure what you mean. You can duplicate entire forms if you need. Would that help you with what you are trying to do?

    No I'm not trying to duplicate an entire form.

    Lets say I have a field on a form to collect info about hat sizes, and that field is a bit complex to build. Is there any way I could easily duplicate that FIELD on another form?

    1. It would save me the time of setting up that field again.

    2. It would be helpful so that if I make changes to that field, I wouldn't have to update it in multiple places.

    How did you create the field initially? We don't have a way to duplicate a field, or make it as a new field you can just drop into your form and we definitely wouldn't have a way to manage the same field on multiple forms by updating it in one place. What if you didn't want to update it on all forms? The user interface and control of such a thing would be very difficult, and the data storage would also be difficult.
