We have a process that has 2 forms. Both forms share a field. The field that is shared is filled out when the form is first submitted. At the next user task, the user sees a different form, but with the same field. I need to take the value from that field (field 1) and copy it to another field (field 2).

I have tried adding CSS classes called field1 and field2 to the fields in question and then using the following jQuery to copy the values, but it is not working correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions to what I am doing incorrectly?

$(".field2").val($(".field1").val());
