Hello,

How can I make a text input field optional when signing an html document?

It seems that no matter what I do, it is required. I’m defining the input like this:

<input id="tbl_0" type="text" style="width:100px;" width="100" data-ds-type="text" />

I would appreciate any help,

Thank you.

You need to set the “required” attribute to “false”, as the default value is “true”.

<input id="tbl_0" type="text" style="width:100px;" width="100" data-ds-type="text" required=”false”/>

You can find additional information in this DocuSign Support article.

Thank you! It works.

I got confused a bit because, if I’m not mistaken, HTML attribute “required” cannot have any values. Nevertheless, THANK YOU again!

@Alex B 

I am glad you were able to resolve the issue.

I fully understand you and it is true that in HTML “required” typically does not have a value and makes the field required when present. Unfortunately, this is currently different with how this is processed in DocuSign.

Can you click on “Select as Best” on my answer before? This will flag it as resolved and remove it from open questions? Thank you!
