Right now, the "Next" button only takes the signer to the required fields. If there are any optional fields in between, they will skip it.

Provide a way to include "Optional" fields when the signer is pressing the "Next" button, so that they won't miss it.

Add a feature to notify recipients when an optional signature field is present in the document. This could be through a message or visual cue to ensure the recipient is aware of the optional field.

do not skip non-required field when you finish the document

I agree it is critical that the arrow should take a user to the optional field. It will be missed completely if not

Customer would like to be able to use the tab key on their keyboard to jump from one field to another even if the fields are not marked as required

I want to add that currently the unrequired fields are all too often ignored as they are invisible to the person filling out the forms. There should be some visual cue to indicate unrequired fields if not being at minimum able to <tab> through.

When there are required fields in the document, there is a walkthrough in PandaDoc which highlights all the fields that need to be filled in (You have X required field(s) to fill out)
There would be a useful option to have those walkthroughs for all the documents and all the users - no matter if the fields are required or not, so that they cannot be missed at any time.

an icon or some way to tell if a field was required or not when drafting without clicking into each field. mentioned by customer: ewintrow@soprema.us

Is this going to be corrected? We can lose very important information because of this. For example, we can't put a requirement for fields asking for a social security number, because they also could have a TIN for their business. But, these are important fields. Maybe this could be an option instead of requirement? Asking for consideration please.

When a recipient is signing a document, the prompt only takes them to each of the required fields vs every single field including optional ones.

Right now, when a recipient is moving through a document, the yellow arrow will skip over fields that are not required. This request is for that yellow arrow to not skip over the optional fields.

Making certain things "required" can cause liability for the sender, however, the reader often misses non-required things like check-boxes. This information can be imperative to the document (check a box), but not required, in that a reader may not be checking ALL boxes.
Thank you for considering this.

When all fields are optional they are a hard to see grey. It would be nice if they were colored, even when all were set to optional

When you have Optional fields on a document that you want a client to complete it displays a blatant "Optional" label. This is a deterrent from having them provide the information. Given they might not have all the information that is highly desired, we do not want to set the fields to Required and have to explain what to do if they don't have that information.

In addition, the "Next" button that guides a person to Required fields, totally skips optional fields. So if there are 10 optional fields, and only the signature is required, clicking Next would jump past all the other fields, which is even a bigger deterrent to them providing the optional info that the first thing mentioned.

For longer applications in PandaDoc it would be a better user experience if you could turn on tabbing to both required and optional fields.

Be able to tab through ALL fields not just required fields.

Ability to change the the way recipients are directed to fill out their assigned fields
