I am trying to create an electroinc version of our companies rubber stamp and i have gone as far as creating the stamp and having the date change on its own using java, but i would like to know if there is a way to insert a blank field within that stamp that you can type various information such as a persons name(s) ofr a file number where the file will be filed? This information would be different each time. please help.

Be careful as many the tutorials and some of the other links have become broken by a reorganization of the files on this site.

For a simple line of input you can use the 'app.response()' method in the custom calculation field and inert the data into the stamp's text field. A more complex input can be accomplished with he Dialog object.

But you can't insert a field into the stamp that will remain editable once you stamped it.
