docusign template custom field not being filled by API

Im trying to fill some custom fields on my template. And send the value of the custom field on the JSON.

So what I did is this:

Template

Now, using the api Im try to create an envalope with this template.

According to one question that I found:

      If the fields that you're trying to fill are data fields that
     you've placed on the 
documents within the Template, then these aren't "custom fields" -- they're "tabs".

docusign template custom field not being filled

So for create an envalope Im sending this json:

{

  "emailSubject":"This is a DocuSign Test from Mauricio",

  "status":"sent",

  "templateId":"a0847413-35ac-48ed-9ed6-9b7f96019eda",

  "templateRoles":[
    {

      "email":"[email protected]",

      "name":"Mauricio Taranto",

      "roleName":"Test",

      "routingOrder":"1",

       "tabs": {

        "textTabs": [

          {

            "name": "Custom",

            "value": "This is a custom value"

          }

        ]

      }

    }

  ],

  }

I dont have any issues on the creation in terms of the api response. I get the email and also the name field and email name get filed on the PDF.

But the custom field I added to the template does not populate.

The square under my email is the custom field (see the image.)

PDF

What Im doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

You'll need to use the "tabLabel" parameter instead of the "name" parameter for your tag names. Everything else looks correct.

As a side note, the API docs say if you're going to have the same tag more than once on the document, you'll want to add \\* before the tag's name so that all are populated.

Changing your example to this should work:

{
    "emailSubject": "This is a DocuSign Test from Mauricio",
    "status": "sent",
    "templateId": "a0847413-35ac-48ed-9ed6-9b7f96019eda",
    "templateRoles": [{
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "name": "Mauricio Taranto",
        "roleName": "Test",
        "routingOrder": "1",
        "tabs": {
            "textTabs": [{
                "tabLabel": "\\*Custom",
                "value": "This is a custom value"
            }]
        }
    }],

}
