Auto populate answers from another Notes template Merged

It would be helpful if the Notes application allowed answers to questions entered in one Notes template to automatically populate in another. There are numerous questions entered in a Notes template during admission that are also entered in a different Notes template during discharge. Currently, users have to manually copy and paste from the other template. While I understand that we can insert a Notes template into another, this method is not very efficient. Implementing some intelligence, such as database code similar to eform, would greatly enhance usability.
