I’m defining specific witness for specific signer. I don’t want to displat the pre-fill dialog because the Signer will complete all the information in my application. 
Is it possible to hide the pre-fill witness information dialog from signer view?

I’m using Docusign netcore SDK.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

There isn't a way to specify to not allow the owner to specify the witness, if you provide the name and email for the witness, it is just prefilled with that information: https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/enveloperecipients/#witness-recipient

Thanks for your reply.
The signer is going to define the witness, but inside my app. There will be a step where they can select a witness or not.
So, in the code, the witness will be specified behind the scenes when we create the envelope.
I don’t want the signer to see the witness pre-fill dialog, or at least I don't want them to be able to modify it.
We want to keep the witness flow inside the app.
But taking a look at what you’ve shared, I believe it might not be possible.
