preview and adding signature on ipad

I believe this is a bug with Preview, it looks like it just picks whatever is at the top of the list versus your selection. The work around I thought of was if you turn your phone off and iPad on, it will go to your iPad versus your iPhone.

I tried it and it worked for me, you should try this too.

I am trying to create a signature in preview on mac using my iPad pro.

In Preview, on mac, select annotate, then manage signatures, create signature.

I then have option to use iPad or iPhone. (plus photo or trackpad)

I select iPad, every time i do this my iPhone screen switches on an asks for signature. This of course has to be done by a finger.

Why will it not allow iPad to do this even if selected. ?(phone comes on)

Sidecar works on pad, just not signatures.

restarted everything.

iPad does not open up when selected, iPhone does even when iPad chosen.
