- The signer must fill out a required field.
- The text field characters count can't exceed the character limit.
- The signer can't modify a read-only field.
- The field auto-signs if there is a default text value.
Let's look at the following example.
![A text field with the settings configured by the user in the Documenso document editor](/document-signing/text-field-with-filled-advanced-settings.webp)
The field is configured as follows:
- Label: "Address"
- Placeholder: "Your office address"
- Default Text: "Signing Street 1, 241245"
- Character Limit: 35
- Required: False
- Read Only: False
Since the field has a label set, the label is displayed instead of the default text field value - "Add text".
### Document Signing View
What the recipient sees when they open the document to sign depends on the settings configured by the sender.
In this case, the recipient sees the text field signed with the default value.
![Text field with the default value signed by the user in the Documenso document signing view](/document-signing/text-field-autosigned.webp)
The recipient can modify the text field value since the field is not read-only. To change the value, the recipient must click the field to un-sign it.
Once it's unsigned, the field uses the label set by the sender.

To sign the field with a different value, the recipient needs to click on the field and enter the new value.

Since the text field has a character limit, the recipient must enter a value that doesn't exceed the limit. Otherwise, an error message will appear, and the field will not be signed.
