Indexing Feature Request: When Multiple Records On One Document Use the Same Date

Programmatically adding a checkbox field that you can check or something similar, for items such as military monthly rosters that contain ~50-70 names all with the same date so that you could have the date input to the first record and then check a box or something to that effect if the records all have the same date. Then indexing would be sped up because you would have three less fields of data to input per record.

    For the record, I am aware of the feature to click to make a specified field's data the same throughout a document. I am simply looking for a more obvious, efficient method. From a programming standpoint it should be relatively easy since the functionality is already there, it would just need to be written in a manner that when the checkbox is checked, those three fields, day, month, year, automatically auto-populate from the first record. This would significantly streamline the process in my opinion. Cheers!
