Documents & Contracts

Pre-populate linked Contract fields from Contact/Opportunity before signing
Problem: In Contracts, “linked” fields only write back after signing. Senders cannot pre-populate those inputs with existing Contact/Opportunity data. This forces recipients to re-type info we already have, increases friction and errors, and makes the experience inconsistent with Forms (which support sticky/prefill patterns). Why this matters: Lower friction & faster completion: Fewer keystrokes → higher completion rates and better mobile UX. Data accuracy: Using CRM as the source of truth reduces typos and mismatches. Consistency: Aligns Contracts with Forms behavior (sticky/prefill), and with CRM merge fields that already render data. Advanced use cases: Service businesses with multiple jobs per customer need Opportunity-level data to prefill job-specific contracts (amounts, dates, locations). Requested behavior: When a fillable field is “linked” to a Contact or Opportunity value, auto-populate the input on open with the current CRM value. Allow toggles per field: Prefill + Editable (default) or Prefill + Read-only. Support Opportunity and Company fields everywhere merge values are supported. Preserve existing write-back on completion (so edits still sync if allowed). Allow prefill via URL parameters or workflow actions when generating the contract (advanced templates). Benefits: Reduced abandonment, fewer errors, and a more professional e-signature experience; no need for brittle workarounds mixing merge text with separate inputs.
