Thank you Sarah. Not as easy as backgrounds in HC, but I can see it is more flexible. It was the "Place Group" that made it a puzzle. So the steps are:

1.  Create an object
2.  With that object selected, choose "Group" from the menu or ToolBar
3.  Open the object's Property Inspector
4. Check the "Behave as Background" checkbox or set the backgroundBehavior to true
5.  Go to each card and choose "Place Group" from the Object Menu
OR, with a large number of cards, write a script to accomplish the above actions.

Right. This is a better way than pasting the field on each card, because when you paste, you get multiple copies of the field. That makes it hard to edit and uses more space and memory. Placing a 1-field group shares it among cards, and allows you to edit once and have your changes automatically reflected everywhere.

Note that you don't necessarily have to check "background behavior", it's optional. You can still place and share a group on several cards without that, though behavior changes a little when you do.
