You may notice something interesting here- "feeling_sick" is the same name as a case property from the registration form. And you are correct! This actually means that they are the same case property. We save a value for feeling_sick at registration, and then here in the followup form we save a new value for feeling_sick. This new value will overwrite the old value. Both values will be available in CommCareHQ as form data, but the case data will only show the most recent value of this question.

Case Property descriptions are pulled from the Data Dictionary. When a case property contains a description, it will be displayed beneath the name of the property. If that description is updated, it will be reflected in the data dictionary as well. Each time a new property is added to the case, it will be added to the data dictionary. In the event that the description of a property is updated, the update will also be reflected in the data dictionary.
