You could also use a non-lost field as a list by scripting the hilite using a graphic object set to the current hilite color.
Personally, I prefer to let the engine handle common behavior they've built in support for.

Ah, but I was "list".A non-LIST field!

Err . . . and I could also use a large lump of blue-cheese as a table.You could also use a non-lost field as a list
I wonder what the point of that remark was?

To encourage newcomers to let the engine handle common tasks where it can, and save scripting for the things not already built into the engine.

That would be marvellous if all the instances where the engine can handle common taskslet the engine handle common tasks where it can
were adequately documented in a way that "newcomers" could understand.

SharedText is documented to share text within a field when the field resides in a group that's been placed on multiple cards.
The ability to share a group across multiple cards is documented as being governed by the sharedBehavior property.
