I couldn't find a solution to this issue on the Docusign Community, so I'm offering a suggestion. We need to prevent signers from signing agreements too early. The current recommendations like "Send Later" or adding a delay aren't helpful because "Send Later" doesn’t allow our recipients to view documents immediately. Adding a delay doesn't work with our use of merge field data, causing errors (see image below).
We suggest Docusign provide an option to add a validation or setting that prevents signatures until a specified time, such as X days or Y hours.
Example: Signer should not sign until 2 weeks from when they receive the Docusign envelope for a “consideration period”. If they sign too early we need to void their agreement and send a new one.
