What I want:  
I want to create a field into perspective where an user can draw their signature.  
With the lack of a build-in signature field I came up with the following.

I have a viewbox on my view.  
The viewbox contains 1 element, this is a path.  
This way I create a svg that draws the signature.  
What I need to give the right coordinates to the svg path I have to use a touchevent.  
However it seems like the touchevent doesn’t have all of it’s propertys within Ignition.

See what options it should have:

See what Ignition gives me: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/d/d78ef38903ce26f94f96b2b103ec0964a409c7b2.png)

Exactly: I am missing the property’s which give me the information for the location.  
In the mouse event this works correctly but not with the touchevents.  
I cant use the mouse events in perspective on a mobile phone.

Bumping this to promote [this feature request on the ideas page](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/add-xy-coordinates-to-perspective-touch-events) (\<–please click and vote if you think this is a good feature 😉 ). I’m stonewalled without any means of getting XY coordinates on a confirmation slider on mobile. Not having coordinates greatly limits the usefulness of touch events, which seems counter-intuitive to Perspective’s purpose.

It feels bad to get a custom component working that you intended for mobile and only have it be usable on desktop.
