Hello
Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community and for sharing your feedback about editing text in preset boxes. I understand you want to make this easier without having to start from scratch each time.
When you mention "preset boxes," are you referring to standard DocuSign fields like Name, Date, Email, Company, Title, or regular Text fields you add to your documents?
Could you tell me more about how you want to change these boxes? For example:
-
Are you looking to change the label (like from "Name" to "Applicant Name")?
-
Do you want to update the placeholder text inside the box (like "Enter your full name here")?
DocuSign has options to create custom fields with labels, validation, and formatting, which might save you from repeatedly editing generic boxes. 👉 Create a Custom Field
