This demo is to show how the data can actually be referenced through the smart field (not copied to the other form, but used through the smart field)

In contrast to Authors and books - using rule to copy value from a referenced field

 

 

 

 

Showing the data over form2, referencing the "author" field in form 1 using the ("smart") field in form 2

Chaning the author field in form 1 will be REFLECTED in this form view immediately (as the field is not copied, but only referenced)
