Can I add a custom field to multiple field groups?

I’m using forms with custom field to get evaluations from my different programs.
Some of the questions are the same. Can I add those fields to multiple field groups?
And will the answers be overwritten if the customer follows different programs?

Or is a better way to create this fields once again and then add to the correct field group.
Thanks.

Hi there, Amy from ActiveCampaign’s Customer Experience Team. We’re just refreshing our forum page and I wanted to add some help here for anyone who comes across this page/question/post.

You will need to create multiple different custom fields in order to add the fields to different groups. the fields can be named similarly but not the same.

If we had the ability to add the same field to different groups (which we do not - but if we did), yes the data would be overridden if the contact were to submit a value into the field - even if the value is the same, it is still overridden and the API will have a different timestamp for hwne the value was added.

Any questions or additional ideas, thread them below!
