Popup window for second signer same as witness

I have signer and witness. When signer starts signing, he gets popup window to enter witness information.

The Envelope has Witness name and email populated.

Q1. How to do this if I don’t have Witness info to populate envelope?

Q2. How to do this if I don’t have Second Signer info to populate envelope?

I found this:

Is it possible for the signer to assign someone as a witness? | Community (docusign.com)

The reference link is dead, however.

So not sure what to do with Agent.

Working in C#.

Hi Ziggy,

You can create a witness with no Name or Email and the Signer will be prompted to enter the witness information.

For example:
 

{
"status": "sent",
"emailSubject": "Sign Me",
"recipients": {
"signers": [
{
"email": "email@gmail.com",
"name": "Troy W",
"recipientId": "1",
"clientUserId": "123",
"routingOrder": "1",
"tabs": {
"signHereTabs": [
{
"documentId": "1",
"pageNumber": "1",
"recipientId": "1",
"xPosition": "100",
"yPosition": "150"
}
]
}
}
],
"witnesses": [
{
"name": "",
"email": "",
"roleName": "Witness",
"routingOrder": "1",
"witnessFor": "1",
"recipientId": "2",
"tabs": {
"signHereTabs": [
{
"documentId": "1",
"pageNumber": "1",
"recipientId": "2",
"xPosition": "200",
"yPosition": "150"
}
]
}
}
]
},
"documents": [
{
"documentId": "1",
"name": "contract.pdf",
"documentBase64": "xxxx"
}
]
}

I forgot to mention. This is for FocusedView flow. First Signer should sign on Web page and enter data for Second One.

This is great. Is the same possible for Unknown Second Signer not Witness for FocusedView flow?
