title: DocuSIgn - SOAP API - How to Force Envelope Assignment
body: <p>I am using DocuSign <a href="https://www.docusign.com/p/APIGuide/APIGuide.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SOAP API</a> for e-signature. One of the step requires witness. The way I have it set up is to after the recipient 1 signs the envelope, they get it again at which point they are required to assign to another person for witness. But some recipients do not read the instructions and themselves sign as witness. I am not using template.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force them to assign at this step? The witness is generally their manager and hence known. </p>
