CP-14119 - Keep submit form expanded when ATS requests expand=true#72
Merged
Conversation
What The submit form now respects an `expand=true` URL parameter. When present, the form panel stays open on desktop instead of auto-minimizing when the first field is a signature, initials, file, or image. Why Employees opening a DocuSeal task on desktop saw only the PDF and a small "Sign Now" button — the input panel was collapsed by the auto-minimize behavior. Several read this as "no fields on the form" and could not complete the task. The ATS now sends expand=true on the fillable URL so the fields are visible immediately. How to test 1. Create a template whose first field is a signature. 2. Open the submitter link with `?expand=true` on a desktop-width viewport. 3. Confirm the form panel is visible and the signature canvas is usable without clicking "Sign Now" first.
