[Bug]: Template Date Widget format option adding assigned format date instead of actual date (API)

[cityofaikensc]

Issue Description

We use the API extensively and have noticed that all of our returned signed documents have the listed date format as the date instead (08/04/2025) of the actual date the document was signed.

Expected Behavior

If I were to sign a document today, the date should appear as 09/18/2025.

Current Behavior

If I were to sign today, the completed document shows the date as 08/04/2025 (the chosen format).

Steps to reproduce

In the template designer, place a date widget on the page, set the format to 08/04/2025, set to read only (I want to automatically use the current date) and save the changes. Using the API, create a new document from the template. Send the document and complete it without entering the date. Finished document will contain the 08/04/2025 in the date field versus the actual date.

This defect has been fixed. We now provide customizable date options, including setting a default date, specifying the signing date, and making the date field optional.
