Select multiple data fields?

Is it possible to assign multiple fields to a specific person without having to click on each field individually? I have tried Shift and Ctrl and selected multiple fields, but the only option I get is to 'Delete Selected Fields'.

    Hi Gladiae,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    It is not possible to assign multiple form fields to a signer at once.

    You will need to manually go to each form field to assign the signer and to make changes to the properties.

    This is an as designed behavior.

    Hope that answers your query.

    Let us know if you have any question.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi

    Then this is a terrible "as designed behavior". I just spent 20 minutes reassigning prefilled fields in a very long form because Adobe assigned them to "anyone". As an attorney, this seems like a waste of billable time that I am going to have to try to justify to a client ("Well, there are so many fields on this long document I worked for you, but my software won't let me lock them so only I can change them"). I need to be able to select multiple fields and assign them. Or at least have the default be to "me (prefill)" (this would have allowed me to only reassign 10 fields instead of 100 in case they noticed typos in their name and address). I don't want someone making changes and then signing without other parties noticing the changes. Please change this so the person creating the document to send to others to sign doesn't waste a client's money when the purpose of fields is to save time.

      Fully agree here. I run into the same issues and it's frustrating to spend so much time on this for a multitude of reasons.
