Hello, this creates a conflict with the signature of gravity forms. it is impossible to sign once this code is in place.
Hi,
I just tested the snippet with the signature field, but I wasn’t able to recreate the issue you’re experiencing. I’m guessing it could be specific to your setup. Please submit a ticket for this via our support form so we can dig into this further.
Best,
