BoldSign allows users to sync the form fields using the Data Sync Tag feature. When you link multiple similar form fields and input a value in one of them, that value will be automatically filled into the corresponding synced fields. This functionality is compatible with Textbox, Label, Checkbox, Dropdown, Image, and Editable date form fields.
Follow the steps below to sync form fields and auto-fill the data:
- Click the
Create New
button on the dashboard and select theCreate New Document
option. - Fill in all the required fields on the Prepare document for signing page.
- Click
Next
to move to the Configure fields page. - Drag and drop two or more form fields of the same type into the document.
- If you select the
Editable date
form field. The settings will open on the right side of the page. - Look for the
Data Sync Tag
field and enter a value. Make sure not to use special characters in the Data Sync Tag field. - Enter the same value in the Data Sync Tag field of another
Editable date
form field that you want to sync. The Editable date fields with the same Data Sync Tag values will be synchronized. - Now, click the
Send
button to send the document for signature.
- When the signer enters a value in one field, that value will be automatically filled in all the fields that are synced with the same Data Sync Tag.
- Similarly, you can sync Textbox, Label, Checkbox, Dropdown, and Image form fields.
Different form field types cannot be synced. For example, a dropdown and an image form field cannot be synced.
