shared text

Text that appears in the same field on every card of a background; an option in the Field Info dialog box that allows a field to display shared text.

When the Shared Text option is turned on for a field, you can enter or edit text in the field only while you’re in the background layer.

In general, it’s better to use shared text than to use Paint text because shared text is editable, and Paint text is not.
