Adding Digital Signature field turns into a text field

Hi, I'm at my wits end with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2023.
I am trying to add digital signature fields to a form, like I've done a million times before on old versions, but it now appears as a text box even when the properties say it is a signature.
I saw a solution to this was to revert to the old UI, which I have done, untick 'this document requires signatures' and find a 'more' button but I don't have that?

 

Screenshot 1: My screen when opening the PDF

Screenshot 2: Yellow highlight under the signature field tool used, and the resulting fields
Screenshot 3: The preview of the field being text. This is how it is when saved as well. 

 

Please help!

The "More" button in question appears in your second screenshot, in the middle of the panel on the right-hand side.

THANK YOU! Everywhere I was looking for an answer said it was a button in the top right of the window, so I was looking in completely the wrong place. I've now been able to revert it and it works now.
