Fields with same name

Hi,

I love this library, nevertheless I have the issue that I often have large PDF forms where e.g. "name" or "street" or "city" are fields with the same name, used many times in the same PDF file.
So the user filling out the form manually only needs to enter it once.
Could it be that this library does not support that? If I have multiple fields with the same name, I get the Exception

FPDF-Merge Error: field street not found

in
fpdm.php:2088 Stack trace: #0 fpdm.php(863): FPDM\FPDM->Error('field street no...') #1 fpdm.php(471): FPDM\FPDM->set_field_value('current', 'street', 'Mystreet 1234') #2

Cheers,
Andy

In addition, it seems that only text fields are supported, no checkboxes for example?
