Feature Description

As a Signer I would like to know what I should enter in the Custom Text field as it always is presented as Text. For example, should I enter my Company name? My Position? My cars license plate?

Use Case

A common scenario is to ask for the Title/Position of the Signer (eg. CEO/VP etc.). When now sending a request for Signing it will show Signature and Text where as the User doesnt know what the Text stands for. This is especially usefull when defining templates.

Currently it looks like:

Instead it should look like this:

Proposed Solution

When adding a custom text field, also define a caption what will be shown to the user/signer. This way the user knows what has to be entered in such field.

Alternatives (optional)

Configure / Define static fields in an administration interface. Like one for Position or Title.

@Rainson12 This was on our internal roadmap, as we like to tackle core features via the core team. Still great thinking. It's been a while, advanced fields will land very soon.
