I have had several issues with people filling out forms incorrectly. Is there a way I can change the default text in text boxes from “Text” to another word or phrase?
Solved

Hello
Based on the context provided in the link below, it is not explicitly mentioned how to make a text field prefilled while still requiring it to be editable by recipients.
The properties discussed include making a field required or optional, entering data in the field and making it read-only, but not specifically about pre-filling a field while keeping it editable.
Therefore, the answer is no.

Hello
Thank you for reaching out here in Docusign Community.
Yes, you can change the default text in text boxes by setting the "Initial Value" field for the custom tag. Simply type the desired word or phrase that you want to appear as the default text when users select the custom tag.

I was more thinking of the gray text. When I enter a clarification in a box that’s marked “required,” the people I want to fill in the field can still skip it. I’d like the text to appear but still require the person to fill in a response.
