DocuSign Api. How to let signer edit a text tab with a sample text?

I am trying to put a text box near "NAME:" and I would like the signer to fill the box. Client has asked to put a guide/ghost text like "name here". If I send the envelope with "value" already set, it will not let the signer to modify it.

Does somebody know how or already had this problem ? Thanks in advance

code:

"textTabs": [{
"tabLabel": "Name",
*"value": "name here",*  <-- (?)
"anchorString": "Charterer full name:",
"anchorXOffset": "1.2",
"anchorYOffset": "-0.1",
"anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent": "false",
"anchorUnits": "inches"
}]
Solution

  • Add locked=false, to make tab not be readonly, like this:

    "textTabs": [{
"tabLabel": "Name",
"value": "name here",
"locked": "false",
"anchorString": "Charterer full name:",
"anchorXOffset": "1.2",
"anchorYOffset": "-0.1",
"anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent": "false",
"anchorUnits": "inches"
}]
