Feature Description

When placing e-signature components (checkboxes, radio buttons, text fields, signature fields, date fields, etc.) during document composition, users should be able to reassign the field to a different signee without needing to delete and recreate the field.

Once a field is placed and assigned to a signee, the only way to change ownership is to delete the field and add a new one assigned to the correct signee. This disrupts layout precision and slows down workflow, especially when fields are carefully positioned for visual clarity.

Use Case

No response

Proposed Solution

Introduce a field-level reassignment option in the composition UI. This could be a dropdown or context menu allowing users to change the assigned signee for any placed field without altering its position or type.

• Preserves layout integrity for visually aligned fields.
• Speeds up correction workflows when signer roles change.
• Reduces friction for multi-signee documents with complex field arrangements.
• Aligns with user expectations for drag-and-drop editing flexibility.

Alternatives (optional)

• Right-click or hover menu on placed field: “Reassign to…”
• Inline dropdown in the field properties panel.
• Optional undo history for reassignment actions.
