Body: <p>In my install I have teachers (individuals) and Schools (Organisation&gt;&gt;sub-type 'School'). We do not record any address details for the teachers but now we'd like to enable the 'shared address' option for our teachers so that they have address fields showing in their contact summary page for the school that they work for. I can easily do this one at a time as it's just a case of ticking a box in the contact summary 'use another contact's address' and then selecting the employer school but this isn't practical for all of them. Is there a way which I can in effect check that box and have the correct employer school selected for all my teachers?</p>
