Making Template Fields Optional or Required

Question

I'm creating my first template (to use in the Apply Template feature) and I'm not seeing a way to make the fields Optional, like you can in a regular envelope. There are some fields that will be optional (checking any boxes that apply), and others that I need required before they can complete the envelope. Anyone know how I can designate the fields when creating a template?

Hello,Thank you for the information, the add fields section is the same during the template creation and in the envelope creation, would be possible for you to attach a screenshot of the field properties?Let us know if you need further assistance with this.Best regards,Christopher |DocuSign Community Moderator"Select as Best"below if you find the answer a valid solution to your issue.
