# Cannot be Equal Another Local Field

This is a simple rule that prevents a piece of data being the same as a value in a different field that is currently in the form you are filling out.\
\
For example, if you wanted to force the user not to use the same name for their Next of Kin as their own name you could have two fields:\
\
\&#xNAN;***Your Name***\
***Next of Kin***\
\
On the Next of Kin field you could set this rule so that it cannot be "Your Name".
