Using the same Label on repeated Text Fields removes busywork anywhere the same data appears multiple times. In long packets, a signer types their Full name once and it auto-fills the cover page, signature block, and acknowledgment page; the same works for Company, Email, Address, PO/Case/Employee ID, Date, or even Initials across every page. This is especially useful for HR onboarding (legal name on offer, NDA, policy ack), sales/MSAs (company name on multiple clauses), healthcare consents (patient name/DOB), and education forms (student name/ID). Labels are per-recipient, so use distinct labels for different roles (e.g., “Full name — Employee” vs “Full name — Manager”) to prevent cross-fill. If you already know a value—like Account ID or Region—use Pre-filled Text instead so it’s stamped automatically (and can be included in Bulk/CSV reports).
📝 Labels work only for Text fields.
Label Set-Up
1. Open your form in editing mode and click on the field on the document to open up the right-side field settings panel. Click here to learn more about adding fillable fields to your form.
2. Expand the Additional Settings menu and fill out the label intended for this specific field.
📝 Labels must match exactly (same spelling/case/spaces); update any one linked field and the others sync instantly.
3. Ensure to add the same label across all identical fields that must be auto-filled with the same information.
📝 Press ⌘+D (Mac) or Ctrl+D (Windows) to duplicate the field—its Label and other settings are preserved.
After your form is set up, use Preview (Open Preview) to see the signer’s view—including how labeled fields auto-fill and behave.
When the signer enters their name once, identically labeled fields don’t prefill automatically—they populate when the signer clicks each repeated field. This click-to-fill step ensures they review every section of the form as they go.
