I have an InfoPath 2010 filler form that has on view 3 a set of 4 option buttons which I have called optEnvironment. They aren't in a repeating table or anything like that, just standalone. Each option button has been set to a different text value - let's say Text A, Text B, Text C, and Text D.
I have pulled optEnvironment in on view 6 and set the control as a textbox and if I set optEnvironment to Text A, my textbox shows Text A just fine. However, if I pull in optEnvironment on view 8 and set the control as a 2nd set of 4 option buttons, then when I mark an option button on view 3, I see the correct text in the textbox on view 6, but the option buttons on view 8 remain unmarked. I know I could change optEnvironment on view 8 to a completely different control, say another textbox, and run an action rule on optEnvironment on view 3 to set this textbox's value, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why picking an option button on view 3 doesn't automatically set the same option button on view 8, since it's the same data and identical controls. Call it a point of curiosity.
Thanks!

An imprecisely defined requirement has an infinite number of possible solutions. Unfortunately, only about a maxiumum of 3 solutions are actually satisfactory to the end user.
