Disable Fill and Sign Signature as Option on Fillable Form

Question

I have a fillable form with two digital signatures: one for a Department Head and one for a College Dean. There is a submit button in the form for when the form is completed and signed.

If the first signatory uses the Digital ID to sign, then the option to Sign Yourself is greyed out after saving. However, if the first person to sign uses Fill and Sign and Sign Yourself, then all the fillable form fields are locked. This prevents users from clicking the Submit Button or making additional changes to the text.

Is there a way to disable/grey out the Sign Yourself in the Fill and Sign so they can only use the digital ID? I can recover the ability to edit the form with the password but users cannot.

Hi @ ,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

I could think of a solution to the above scenario:

Add a warning for the users asking them to not use sign yourself and instead use Digital ID. You can try using the code:

// Display a reminder message when the form is opened
app.alert("Please use your Digital ID to sign the form. Do not use 'Sign Yourself' from the Fill & Sign tool.", 3);

// 3 means the message is a warning

I cannot think of any ways to completely disable the "Sign Yourself" feature. However, I'll deep dive, and get back in case I have a better solution.

Let me know if this works for you.
