Thread: Attach document to existing Docusign template document
Summary: The developer has an existing template and wants to attach an additional document to that template. Their use case is that the template includes a document that they want to append to all other envelopes that they are sending.
Answer: This is possible with the TemplateDocuments: update endpoint. However, this endpoint will edit the template itself, so any documents added to the template through this method will be applied to future envelopes that use that template. For this developer’s use case, they might want to consider composite templates, which enable you to apply multiple templates to a single envelope.
Thread: Create Embedded Sign Signature Style Maintenance Page
https://community.docusign.com/esignature-api-63/create-embedded-sign-maintenance-page-21855
Summary: The developer has an application that uses embedded signing and they want their users to be able to adopt a custom signature that will persist across sessions in the app. While it is possible for individual Docusign users to adopt custom signatures for their account, not all users of the embedded signing application will be logging in with Docusign accounts, and the developer wants to accommodate those users as well.
Answer: If an embedded signer adopts a custom signature, that custom signature style will be applied in future embedded signing sessions as long as the values of their email, name, and clientUserId are the same. If any of those values do not match, the user will be treated as a new user and their custom signature settings will not apply. The developer’s application needs to manage these values and ensure that they are stored for each user so that the same combination of values is used each time an envelope is sent to the same embedded signer.
Thread: Docusign: dateSigned without the time part
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79285845/docusign-datesigned-without-the-time-part/
Summary: The developer is adding DateSigned tabs to their envelopes and they want to display the date the document was signed without also including the timestamp.
Answer: The format of the DateSigned tabs comes from the eSignature settings in your account. If you want to display the date without the time, you would set the current time format to "None" as shown in the screenshot below. You can see the blog post Tabs deep dive: eSignature settings for more details.
