Hello Community
Does anyone know how to remove the "I don't want to sign this document" message that appears on Document Templates with a ServiceNow signature. I am in the process of rebuilding our HR Document Templates as Document Templates per SN Communication COMM1442223 - HR Document Templates deprecation: Review.
Setting up the new version of the existing form/case/document task/activity was pretty simple. My problem is the new version has extra language in the signature box. There is a checkbox along with the words "I don't want to sign this document." I need to remove that from the view of the form presented to a person for signature, but I cannot locate where it is. There are no settings on the Document Template set up for it.
Does anyone know if this is configurable and if it is where I can make the necessary changes to remove this.
Thanks
Irene

Hi @irene_mascari You can find a widget called 'Task Sign Pad' and comment out the HTML script lines to hide this option.

I know this is a bit late now, but another way to achieve this is to go to the Document Task HTML widget (document-task-html) and in the server script around line 46 set show_decline to false:
var widgetOptions = {
sys_id: taskId,
acknowledgement_text: data.acknowledgementText,
show_decline: false
};

Thanks for this. Much appreciated. We will give this a try. I will update this as "Accepted Solution" once we test.
