Global Setting to prevent envelope email notifications being forwarded to another recipient who can sign on their behalfIdea Submitted

Add a new configuration to the ‘Signing Settings’ page to address the security flaw of being able to forward envelope email notifications to someone else. Forwarding the email allows this person to sign on behalf of the intended signer. Existing setting: “Prevent users from forwarding completed envelopes”New setting: “Prevent users from forwarding envelopes’ If this forwarding allowance is a requirement of being able to delegate another signer, perhaps they should be tied together:Existing setting: “Allow recipients to change signing responsibility” New setting: “Allow recipients to change signing responsibility and forward envelopes” - leaving this blank would produce an error if the user tried to open a forwarded envelope. The solutions I’ve read for this to ‘simply add ID verification’ is not a viable solution because this cannot be enforced at the global account level. There’s too much responsibility on the sender and we’re not ready to retrain the entire organization to always add Access Codes.

I want to turn off the appearance of the field-context (optional or must fields)Idea Submitted

There should be an option to set whether or not the context for fields in the document appears for the recipient. In other words, I would like to be able to set in the properties of a field that the context for this field does not appear (context that specifies whether the field is optional or mandatory).

ability to download/upload PowerForm for deployment to PRODIdea Submitted

I was told in a case that there is no ability to download/upload PowerForms from demo to prod. You have to download the template from demo, upload it in prod, then recreate the PowerForm in PROD.This needs to have the ability to download the powerform. Anytime you have to manually build in prod you can have mistakes. We need the capability to download/upload PowerForms.

Allow more than 10 days to complete a webform when the finish later option is selectedIdea Submitted

We would like to allow more than 10 days for people to finish entering information into a web form. Without the ability to extend that, it may negate web forms as an option for a particular use case.

Hello,We are using Docusign integration with our Document Management System.

Conditional Fields between signersDelivered

I would like to be able to make a signer’s signature conditional on whether someone else checks a box. Is there a way to do that? Specifically, we would like to be able to check a box if the “Resident” has a Power of Attorney. If so, we need the POA’s signature.

Checkbox & Radio Buttons Show “X” Instead of Tick in Completed PDFDuplicate

When recipients select Checkbox or Radio Button fields, the completed/signed PDF displays an “X” as the selection indicator.In many business and compliance scenarios, a tick mark (✓) is the expected standard and looks more professional. An “X” can sometimes cause confusion or appear as a rejection.Request:Please add an option at the account or envelope level to choose the selection style (✓ or X) for completed PDFs.This would improve clarity and better align with common form standards.

Auto-Placement of Signature Field When None Are DefinedParked

When we send a document for e-signature that does not include predefined signer fields, DocuSign currently prompts the signer to manually drag and drop their signature.We would like to suggest that DocuSign provide a configuration to automatically place a signature field—ideally at the end of the document—when no fields have been set in advance. This would help streamline the signing process and reduce confusion for recipients.Thank you

esig-template fieldIdea Submitted

I have a field that needs to have a % at the end. On a template, I can make a field number that has a $ at the beginning, but not one that has a % at the end. I saw some documentation using doc gen to make that happen, but we don't have doc gen. Would you please incorporate the functionality that doc gen has into template fields for this.Thank you

Email Deliverability in Envelope History + Webhooks for SMTP AcceptanceIdea Submitted

Product AreaseSignature / API / ConnectProblemHigh-volume senders (e.g., >1,000 envelopes/day) frequently face “recipient didn’t receive email.” Today we must open Support cases to confirm whether the recipient’s mail server returned SMTP 250 (accepted). This creates a compliance loop (customer consent), long MTTR, and heavy manual workload (~1% delivery exceptions already strain teams). Delays impact our customers’ business and increase complaint risk.Proposal Envelope History: Email Delivery pane Show per-recipient metadata only: accepted (Y/N), smtpCode (e.g., 250), masked smtpMessage snippet, acceptedAt timestamp masked mxHost, tls (Y/N), retryCount, bounceCategory (soft/hard/other) Controls: admin-toggle, configurable retention (30–90 days), CSV export. Default OFF to respect privacy by default. This gives frontline users immediate, self-serve evidence for “accepted by recipient server vs. blocked/quarantined later.” Connect: Deliverability events Add webhooks to enable automation: EmailDeliveryAccepted (fire when recipient MX returns 250) EmailDeliveryFailed (fire when explicit rejection or retries exhaust) Payload includes minimal, masked metadata (e.g., smtpCode, timestamp, hashed MX) so customers can trigger automatic fallbacks (e.g., SMS notification, re-send from alternate channel, or internal admin review) without opening Support cases. Security & Compliance Metadata-only (no email content or PII beyond standard recipient identifiers). Feature is opt-in (admin-controlled) and fully audited (access and events). Data minimization: masked MX/message details; configurable, short retention. Behavior is backward-compatible: when disabled, nothing new is exposed. Acceptance Criteria (examples) When the recipient server returns 250, Envelope History shows accepted=true with timestamp; if enabled, an EmailDeliveryAccepted event is emitted. When delivery is rejected or retries exhaust, UI shows non-250 details (masked) and an EmailDeliveryFailed event is emitted. CSV export reflects exactly the on-screen metadata fields. With the feature disabled, neither UI elements nor events appear. Impact / PriorityP1. Dramatically reduces Support cases and MTTR, removes compliance friction, enables at-scale automation for exception handling, and protects customer NPS as send volumes grow. This solution focuses on what operators need most: clear, self-serve deliverability evidence inside the envelope and machine-readable webhooks to close the loop automatically.

Execution of further steps in the e-maestro workflow after e-signature dispatch.Idea Submitted

In an eMaestro workflow, after sending an e-signature template for signature, no further steps can be performed until the sent envelope is closed. Is there a way to change this? Specifically, to execute the further steps upon sending the envelope instead of only after it's closed?

Maestro Workflow Needs More Features to attract more customersIdea Submitted

Hi Team,I am feeling DocuSign Maestro is not helping much customers when it comes to real life use cases, recently I have posted my post on community, however I am looking for feature mentioned below:Ability to allow to add more than one templates, as of now it allows only one template, for e,g. I want to dynamically combine multiple templates on the basis of various choices for e.g. if Investor age > 65, add Senior Attestation Template with main template and send for signature If Investor selects multiple sponsors, then it should add only those templates Radio and Checkbox buttons must have ability to map with dropdown options from webforms. I have a template which as radio buttons and checkboxes and I want to collect data from webforms where I want to show drop downs for same options rather using radio buttons, once I have data in webform, I want to map dropdown selected option ( text ) with template’s radio or checkboxes values so it should pre populate selection , this is lacking at the moment Send Email and Send Invite with Dynamic Field Population, if I want to send email and in the subject and body want to populate data from webforms variables, I am unable to use them, hence I am having limited ability to just use static text but cannot build body and subject dynamically

Make compatible "Lookup fields" in SPO database and copy of metadata from a non signed to a signed documentIdea Submitted

Lookup fields are not supported as part of the SPFx app infrastructure.Currently only text fields are supported for metadata writeback.Consequently when we use SPO and the docusign connector, it is not possible to have automatic copy of metadata between the initial document and the final signed document. That is shame.

Customize legal disclosure for different brandsIdea Submitted

It would be great if the legal disclosure language could be adjusted and configured for different brands, instead of on an account-wide basis. I know you can adjust the disclosure to include the brand company name, but it would be helpful to be able to configure different disclosure language and points of contact for each brand, as well!

more information on the envelope pageParked

DocuSign recently changed the information available on the individual envelope pages. I prefer having the envelope number on the main page without having to click through to “Details” and, similarly, I prefer having the information about whether a signer has merely received or actually viewed the envelope email on the main page as opposed to having to click through to History under the three dots (kebob).

Transparency needed for esignature documents - why recent document format changesIdea Submitted

The recent change to the document format we send to customers is creating significant issues. The current appearance is less professional—oversized, opaque boxes now block out text and lines on the contract, even when reduced to the smallest possible size. This makes it difficult for customers to fully understand exactly what they are signing.Previously, the signature fields were transparent, allowing all text to remain visible. The new look not only obstructs important content but also presents a cluttered, confusing, and unrefined appearance. From a customer-facing perspective, this is a step backward in clarity and professionalism.Can you explain the reasoning for moving away from the transparent design? We would strongly recommend reverting to the prior format to ensure contracts remain both visually clear and professionally presented.
