Users can configure Text Input fields to accept or restrict the type of data that recipients can enter based on a specific format, style, or number range. These validation settings are configured within the document preparation experience when sending out a signature request or creating, modifying, or utilizing a reusable template.
To configure Text Input field validation settings within a signature request or reusable template:
- Add a Text Input field to the request or template.
- Select the Text Input field to configure field settings.
- Click to expand the Validation section

Note: Fields configured with text input validation cannot be configured as ready-only fields and do not support multiple line data entry.
