Hi Community

Is there a way to add a formula to text box? As an example 

The signed date + 1 year = automatic comment in a text box

Any help would be appreciated.

No, you cannot add a formula to a text field. It only works with the formula field.

It is possible to achieve what you want by leveraging Conditional Fields in DocuSign eSignature and conditionally show the text field, when the formula field is true.

  1. Add your text field and pre-fill the text “Automatic” and make it read-only
  2. Create a formula field to check “Signed Date + 1 Year”
  3. Add an IF function to the formula, so the value is 1 is when true and 0 if not
  4. Apply conditional logic to show the text field when the value equals 1
