one field on two forms displaying

I have two forms open (of which one in a dialog).

In the dialog I change values but the field in the form in the background is not updated other than when I close the dialog, hide the form and show it again…

Strange!

does this happen in the same record?

I can’t reproduce it.

What i did, downloaded this test solution:

dropped a button on the main form and add an action that showed
orders1 form in a dialog.

Then i showed the main form. Clicked on tab 2 (so orders 1 is not shown, can’t show the same form twice…)

and opened the dialog. Then i change the shipname in the dialog and i do see the shipname on the mainform change..
