Change field name

Hello, @Delta Hinson 

Welcome to the DocuSign Community!

When editing your template, select a field, go to the properties panel on the right, find Data Label then rename for a more understandable name. Fields are automatically named using the type of field + a random number. 

It’s a best practice rename the fields using the Data Label property.

I hope that helps,

Alexandre

Christopher,

Good morning and thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, the information I received earlier concerning my question about changing the field name was not helpful.  I tried following the instructions in the email but there was not a properties panel on the right.

I could still use the help if it’s available.

Hello @Delta Hinson, 

I hope you are doing well.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I know the importance of having the ability to change the field's name as needed. I understand that you are unable to use your mobile app.

I will be more than happy to assist you, would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot of the add fields section during the template creation?

Field properties allow you to customize and control various aspects of the fields in your documents. These properties include making fields required or optional, changing the recipient, setting data validation rules, adjusting font and color, hiding recipient's entry for security, and establishing conditional field relationships. These properties can be applied to individual fields or multiple fields simultaneously. Edit Field Properties
