Is there a workaround to be able to display twice the same fields?

Hello,

I have the following request from my management. I have drawn the specs so it's easier for you to understand.
Basically instead of listing all download options at once (that would have been too easy!), they want that we list one option and then at bottom of form give extra options.
I have following challenges:
- EMEA shoudn't see the bottom options
- Download Options field has to be displayed twice
- People have to either select Download Options above T&Cs or at bottom. Answer is mandatory but obviously you don't need to answer both Download Options fields.

Is that possible?

I'm unclear as to why you would make a confusing form like this. The Marketo form tool will not let you do this, so you'd have to  build a custom form with the API.

I'm wondering if you really just want to say:

If Download Option X, then display T&C Accept. If other, do not display. You can do that easily with visibility fields.

don't ask me....

What our management wants is to highlight option 1 (and set a default value is not enough) but still wants to provide other 2 options so that's why they want to give them but at the bottom.
I guess I will have to say that it's not possible unless we do custom development!

yeah, it's all custom dev if they go that way. Bad UI IMHO.

@Cécile user experience aside -- and I agree this is inadvisable -- you could do this with just custom CSS by setting a high margin-top on the 2nd radio button, then absolute-positioning the other elements (checkbox and a rich-text for Other Download Options) into the empty space.  Not too fun to maintain, but likely easier than using the Forms APi and CSS.
