Date Fields lock after first signature in multi-signature PDF

Hello - 

I have a PDF form that, after the first e-signature and date, prevents subsequent users from using the dropdown date fields. I have made sure the fields are not locked and not read-only, but the problem persists. 

1. First person signs form, uses drop down calendar to select date, and saves and forwards the form to the next user.
2. The next user is able to drop an e-signature but the drop down calendar box is no longer functional. 

I have tried multiple different settings and troubleshooting steps and this has become quite frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Under the Properties of the signature field go to the Signed tab and select which fields to lock (or not lock) when the field is signed.

I have attached the options that I see. There is no signature tab for me to lock or unlock.

Hi

 

Thanks for reaching out, you check this old discussion: https://adobe.ly/3Y0yhDj interface differs a bit however the logic remains the same

 

If you are using e-signature  please read this section: "Set e-signature properties" here: https://adobe.ly/3EtM3Yj;

Let us know how it works.
