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.

The first screenshot is of a text field in an Adobe Sign form. The second is of a text field in a regular form.

You need to use a digital signature field in a regular form to be able to do what I described.
