Hi MorneLyon,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.
To have the date the client signs the document automatically filled in the date field, you can use the signature widget's built-in feature that captures the signing date or set up a date field to automatically populate with the submission date.
Here’s how to do it:
Add a Date field to your form where you want the signing date to appear.
Set the Date field to auto-fill with the current date by enabling the "Get Current Date" option in the field settings.
Ensure the signature widget is added so the client can sign the document.
This way, when the client submits or signs the form, the date field will automatically show the date of submission/signature, such as 01/01.
Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi MorneLyon,
If I understand correctly, you’re working with signed documents and want the date fields to automatically show the date when the user signs the document. You can do this by adding a Date field to your Sign Document and setting it to Current. This way, the date field will display the signing date automatically. Let me walk you through how to set it up:
In Sign Builder, click the Add Elementbutton with the plus sign on the left side of the screen.
Drag and drop the Datefield onto the Sign Document.
On the properties panel on the right, go to the Optionstab and set the default date to Current.
Reach out again if you need any other help.

Hi
Thank you for the response. I need to do this on the form builder side. The client would answer the questions on the JotForm that I've built on the from builder and sign as well. When they submit or sign , the date must be added automatically
