Signing HTML document


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

Hello,

How can I make a text input field optional when signing an html document?

It seems that no matter what I do, it is required. I’m defining the input like this:

<input id="tbl_0" type="text" style="width:100px;" width="100" data-ds-type="text" />

I would appreciate any help,

Thank you.

You need to set the “required” attribute to “false”, as the default value is “true”.

<input id="tbl_0" type="text" style="width:100px;" width="100" data-ds-type="text" required=”false”/>

Thank you! It works.

I got confused a bit because, if I’m not mistaken, HTML attribute “required” cannot have any values. Nevertheless, THANK YOU again!

@Alex B 

I am glad you were able to resolve the issue.

I fully understand you and it is true that in HTML “required” typically does not have a value and makes the field required when present. Unfortunately, this is currently different with how this is processed in DocuSign.
