Locking Text Fields to Prevent Signers Changing the Contents

The DocuSign API allows you to specify a "locked" property for certain custom tab types such as text and numbers. This allows you to control whether signers can modify the contents of these tabs. For example you might wish to include a Text tab that is pre-populated with data from a FileMaker field but prevent the user from modifying the contents of this tab.
