Synchronized Fields option when using shared field group in different objects

When you use a field group in multiple objects it would be great to have the option at the field level to check synchronized field.

This would allow the data in the field of one object to be synchronized the the same field in a different object where both fields existed in the association tree. 

This way the data would be the same in both fields and when updated in object 1 field 1 it would be automatically updated by the system in object 2 field 1 with the same data. 

It could also be updated in object 2 field 1 and then this would again update object 1 field 1 so the 2 objects remained in sync. 

This would solve the problem of issues like one field having to be read only when you copy the data from another object. 

I have a number of use cases where this would really benefit us today from a user experience point of view where I could have workflows to update a field in object 1 as the user doing the update works in object 1 but the data is also relevant in object 2 and needs 2 be kept up to date, but cannot do it today.
