We are trying to populate an existing empty list on a DocuSign Template with some contact methods. The list needs to be populated on the fly since the number and default selected contact method varies with each recipient.
Here is our JSON request we PUT to https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/:accountId/envelopes/:envelopeId/recipients/:recipientId/tabs (we have confirmed at the necessary variables in the URL have been filled in).
{
"accountId":"163051",
"checkboxTabs":[],
"companyTabs":[],
"dateTabs":[],
"emailTabs":[],
"envelopeId":"048f9ee2-df6e-482d-9e04-abb5e630bf83",
"fullNameTabs":[],
"initialHereTabs":[],
"listTabs":[{
"documentId":"1",
"locked":"False",
"name":"Preferred Contact Method",
"pageNumber":"1",
"tabId":"661499f2-4dda-419d-82ad-f943871407e9",
"tabLabel":"Preferred Contact Method",
"value":"Any",
"listItems":[{
"selected":"True",
"text":"Any",
"value":"1"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"E-mail",
"value":"2"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Phone",
"value":"3"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Fax",
"value":"4"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Mail",
"value":"5"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Home Phone",
"value":"6"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Mobile Phone",
"value":"7"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Text",
"value":"8"},{
"selected":"False",
"text":"Facebook",
"value":"9"}]
}],
"noteTabs":[],
"radioGroupTabs":[],
"recipientId":"1",
"signHereTabs":[],
"textTabs":[],
"titleTabs":[],
"zipTabs":[]
}
And the response we are getting back:
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. { "errorCode": "INVALID_TAB_OPERATION", "message": "The Tab specified is not valid for the requested operation. Attempt to create 'text' tab from invalid tab type. }
There are no text tabs in our request. There is a tab with ID 661499f2-4dda-419d-82ad-f943871407e9 of type List on the template. We were able to get this working a few months ago but fear a new version may have broken this functionality.
In case it is needed here is the "Get Recipient Tabs" response for the same envelope we are trying to modify. The list tab in question is at the bottom.
