As Steven mentioned in the linked post, eSignature is in the Maximo Mobile roadmap. However, in 2022 it is not best practices to use it. Maximo already tracks nearly all status changes, and eAudit can easily capture historical changes to other key fields. The eSignature option stems from long ago when mobile device and desktop logins were often shared and/or screen locks weren't enforced by IT department policies. That no longer happens, and would certainly not happen in a validated environment. (If it is happening, there are much more critical things to focus on.)
Validation regulations only require that you know who is making a particular change. There is no requirement that a user enter their password to make the change. (This is a common misunderstanding of people working in a validated environment.)
So, if it's unnecessary... what's the harm? The harm is that it is a pain for a user to enter a long password with upper/lower/special characters on a mobile device while out turning a wrench.
If the business users want a little bit of extra assurance of the person who made a status change, Maximo Mobile now has the ability for the user to sign on the screen using their finger. This is much more convenient to the technician.

It might help in re-thinking about building a custom solution.
