Hello ​@Kemi 

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We appreciate your question and assure you that we are fully committed to providing you with the best service possible. 
I reproduced the issue and suggest you use the dropdown field and save it as a custom field instead.
Here’s how: 
1. Select the dropdown field from the left-hand panel.

2. Add the list of states under the options section by entering them as a list or a series in the right-hand panel.

3. Save the field as a custom field.

4. Place a single text box beside the dropdown as needed.
