Synchronize with Item Property
Description
Specifies the name of the item from which the current item should derive its value. Setting this property synchronizes the values of the two items, so that they effectively mirror each other. When the end user or the application changes the value of either item, the value of the other item changes also.
Applies to all items

Usage Notes
- In earlier releases, this property was called the Mirror Item property.
- You can set Synchronize with Item for base table or control blocks. When
Synchronize with Item is specified, the current item's Base Table Item property
is ignored, and the item derives its value from the mirror item specified,
rather than from a column in the database.
- If you use the GET_ITEM_PROPERTY Built-in to obtain a Base Table Item property,
it will obtain the value from the mirror item specified.
- You can use mirror item to create more than one item in a block that display
the same database column value.
Synchronize with Item Restrictions
- The maximum number of items in a form that can point to the same mirror
item is 100.
