Sign a scheduled transaction

A ScheduleSignTransaction is a consensus node transaction that adds signatures to a scheduled transaction. When this transaction is successful:

• The signature is added to the scheduled transaction
• A record of the transaction is created

To view the signatures that have been added to a scheduled transaction, you can use a ScheduleInfoQuery to query the network. Once the scheduled transaction has received all the required signatures, it will execute immediately, unless it has been configured to execute at a specified expiration time.

Transaction Signing Requirements

• The signature of the account paying for the transaction fees
• The signature being applied to the scheduled transaction

Transaction Properties

Field	Description
Schedule ID	The ID of the schedule transaction to submit the signature for
