There is a way to do it. The preparation would be setting up a function
(sound idea anyway, as you would only spread its call throughout the
fields) which does what you want it to do.
Then, you will open the JavaScript Console and enter a script where you
will loop through the field names (as you have multiplicated the
fields, you already have a counter built in) and set the function call
via the setAction() method.
The trick is to make the function understand which field it gets called
from (using the event.target property.
Hope, this can help.
