[Dropbox Sign API] Support for text tags in templates

[laurent_leconte]

I'd like to use text tags in templates. The documenation seems to imply this is possible (e.g. https://developers.hellosign.com/docs/signature-request/walkthrough/ mentions text tags right after a section on templates) but `use_text_tags` is not supported as a parameter for the `/signature_request/send_with_template` endpoint. Is it possible to use text tags with a template?

Hi there!

Text Tags cannot be used with templates, that is correct.

The Signature Request Walkthrough lists 3 different scenarios:

• Sending a signature request using files
• Sending a signature request using templates
• Sending a signature request using files and placing custom fields on the document via Form Fields per Document or Text Tags

The section referencing Text Tags is part of the 3rd scenario: Using Files and Form Fields

Thanks for the confirmation. Are there any plans to make text tags available for templates?

[DB-Des]

There are currently no plans to make text tags available for templates, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

You can also monitor the API Changelog page to learn more about what new features have been released.

That is really sad to hear. I just did a quick assessment of the top 15 e-sig platforms on G2 and all except you and Signaturely can accommodate Text Tags in documents without the need for API.

Hi @jlats, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, our text tag feature is only available with our Dropbox Sign API. That said, this has been raised as a feature request. Please bear in mind that I cannot guarantee if or when this feature will be implemented.
