Recycling a component on all pages within a form

Hi all,

Is it possible to use the same page or part-page component with the same prefix on every page within a form?

Talking from 3.4.0 experience:
- It is not possible to import the component more than 1 time with the same prefix within a form.
- It is possible to use the fields from the component on every page of the form. The only problem with this is that the data follows the field, so if you type "1st Page" on page 1 and then go to page 2 you will see that the field on page 2 contains the text "1st Page". Changing the text on the page 2 will change it everywhere in the form. This can be useful for a comment field that you want to include on every page but only want to save the text once.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Antony
