I feel like this is a simple question, but my Google-Fu is failing me.

How do you auto-populate/pre-fill a field with the Recipient's name? Currently we have a Template using the "Name" Standard Field, but it is populating the Sender's name.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.  

I am sorry to hear that the standard Recipient Name field is not populating the expected name, but I'll gladly help you correct the issue as soon as possible.

The standard Recipient Name field should populate the name of the recipient related to it.

The behavior you describe is usually related to the field being assigned to the sender and not the other recipient.

You can update the recipient related to the field prior to dropping it into your document at the top right corner of the screen, or by updating the parameter in an existing field in its Field Properties menu during the document tagging step.

For detailed steps on this process, see:

Add Fields to Documents

Edit Field Properties

Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this. 

Thank you for using DocuSign, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
