DateSignedTabs & FullNameTabs not working when bound to form fields

Question

I'm creating an envelope with .net core project. I'm using a PDF document and modified https://github.com/docusign/eg-01-csharp-jwt-framework project. Idea is to us signature field for signing and to automatically set sign date & full name of the signer in other two fields. PDF fields with names:

I'm using composite template with one inline template and one document. TransformPdfFields is ON:

Document doc1 = CreateDocumentFromTemplate("1", "Subscription document", "pdf", DSHelper.ReadContent(DOC_1_PDF));
doc1.TransformPdfFields = "true";

Tabs are created like this:

signer.Tabs = new Tabs
{
   SignHereTabs = new List<SignHere>() { signHere },
   DateSignedTabs = new List<DateSigned>() { dateSign },
   FullNameTabs = new List<FullName>() { fullName }
};

SignHere is using existing PDF fields and it is working: return new SignHere { TabLabel = fieldName, RecipientId = recipientId };

However DateSigned & FullName are not working with fields:

private DateSigned CreateDateSign(String fieldName, string recipientId)
{
    return new DateSigned
    {
        TabLabel = fieldName,
        RecipientId = recipientId
    };
}

But they are working with anchors:

private DateSigned CreateDateSign(String fieldName, string recipientId)
{
    return new DateSigned
    {               
       AnchorString = fieldName,
       AnchorUnits = "pixels",
       AnchorXOffset = "0",
       AnchorYOffset = "15",
       RecipientId = recipientId
     };
 }
enter code here

Is it possible to use text fields for those tasks like for signing? I would like to avoid typo errors or/and complex mappings between arbitrary texts and fields.

Thank you.

PDF's FormField name have to be in DocuSign standards as explained here, check Note1 and Note2 section only. For instance, fullname:

Adobe name contains DocuSignFullName or eSignFullName = DocuSign FullName

for DateSigned:

Adobe name contains DocuSignDateSigned or eSignDateSigned = DocuSign DateSigned
