DocuSign API explorer - does not recognize tabs for Signature

I'm using the DocuSign API explorer to test the use of tabs for signature. I've created a Word document with a placeholder called /InternSignatureAnchor/ enter image description here

And the JSON request payload looks like this:

{
  "documents": [
    {
      "documentBase64": "<Base64BytesHere>",
      "documentId": "123456",
      "fileExtension": "DOCX",
      "name": "Freelance Contract"
    }
  ],
  "emailSubject": "Please Sign Contracts 3",
  "recipients": {
    "signers": [
      {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "name": "Dummy Recipient 1",
        "recipientId": "1",
        "roleName": "Internal Signatory",
        "routingOrder": "1",
        "tabs": {
          "signHereTabs": [
            {
              "documentId": "123456",
              "pageNumber": "1",
              "tabLabel": "/InternSignatureAnchor/",
              "xPosition": "0",
              "yPosition": "36"
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "name": "Dummy recipient 2",
        "recipientId": "2",
        "roleName": "External Signatory",
        "routingOrder": "2"
      }
    ]
  },
  "status": "sent"
}

When the signatory opens the document to sign, the "Sign" enter image description here

is not placed at the placeholder /InternSignatureAnchor/. When I use the Autoplace feature in DocuSign itself, it does work.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks in advance.

The "tagLabel" will just add a label to a tag. To use AutoTagging you'd need to use a json like below:

"tabs": {
    "signHereTabs": [{
        "anchorString": "Please Sign Here",
        "anchorXOffset": "1",
        "anchorYOffset": "0",
        "anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent": "false",
        "anchorUnits": "inches"
    }]
}

I believe API explorer does not show the fields for auto tagging currently - so you'd need to perhaps use Postman to play around with this feature.
