I want to be able to insert into Microsoft word a field that is dynamically connected such that I can type anything in this field box and this is instantly replicated anywhere else in the document this same/Copy of the field exists.

It seems strange that Microsoft has the Insert Document properties which achieve precisely this but limits you to 15 options (Abstract - Title).

Is there a workaround to have custom text fields which enable me to open up a template? Type the name of a report at the top, and this name is dynamically entered everywhere throughout the document (live, without any sort of refresh)

Greg Maxey has an Add-In that does this. Enhanced Document Properties.

Here is my web page on repurposing the 15 built-in ones.

If you do not need them listed under Quick Parts you can create as many Mapped Content Controls as you want.

Here is a video on how to do that. Repeat Text with Mapped Content Controls.

Here is the Microsoft page on how to do this: Walkthrough: Bind Content Controls to XML Part.
