Submitting form variable used multiple times in a second form

I believe this would be a new request or maybe I'm missing something within Forms. I have a customer that would like to have a beginning form that is filled out in the beginning of a process. After submitted the process would then send an approval form with the same fields and additional information. The issue that we are running into is that the variable from the intial form can only be used once. It would be nice to be able to use that variable multiple times on the same approval form.

You could create additional fields on the form and set their default value to the variables you need.

Next to the fields tab there is a tab labeled "variables" every field created on the first form will be listed here. You can place these into the second form where you can then make them read only or make them be able to be edited.

I understand that process.

The issue is that you can only use that variable one time on the new form. Case: The first form has a field called Full Name and a user updates that field and send for approval. In the approval form you need the same field in the "header" of the form and you need the field in a different place of the form maybe the middle of the form. You can not have the field in the approval form more than once.
