Is there a way to show default text in fields?

Question

I have had several issues with people filling out forms incorrectly.  Is there a way I can change the default text in text boxes from “Text” to another word or phrase?

Hello ​@AngelaGrossBased on the context provided in the link below, it is not explicitly mentioned how to make a text field prefilled while still requiring it to be editable by recipients.The properties discussed include making a field required or optional, entering data in the field and making it read-only, but not specifically about pre-filling a field while keeping it editable.Therefore, the answer is no.Field PropertiesIf you found the response to be a useful solution to your question, please mark it as the best answer by clicking “Select as Best” to make it easier for other users to find.Best regards,Marco Paulo | Docusign Community Moderator

Hello ​@AngelaGross,Thank you for reaching out here in Docusign Community.Yes, you can change the default text in text boxes by setting the "Initial Value" field for the custom tag. Simply type the desired word or phrase that you want to appear as the default text when users select the custom tag.If you found the response to be a useful solution to your question, please mark it as the best answer by clicking “Select as Best” to make it easier for other users to find.Best regards,Marco Paulo | Docusign Community Moderator
