Sharing field text

[Björnke von Gierke]

You might also look at the  3th check on the "field" tab in the 
property palette it is labelled: "share text on each card". It must be 
checked to let the field have the same text on each card where its 
group resides on.
Thus you can have different text in a grouped field for each card too.
