Docusign API Explorer not pre-populating fields - docusignapi

Question

I tried filling in the tabs with labels and values, but when I send the request the tabs are not pre-populated, also does anyone know how does the fullname tab get populated?
{
"emailSubject": "Welcome to Soul Gym",
"status": "sent",
"templateId": "196b0d27-b967-4380-bb2c-013051ec9e45",
"templateRoles": [
{
"clientUserId": "marcus.yeo#business.edu.sg",
"email": "marcus.yeo#business.edu.sg",
"name": "Marcus Yeo",
"roleName": "New Member",
"tabs": {
"emailTabs": [
{
"tabLabel": "Email",
"value": "marcus.yeo#business.edu.sg"
}
],
"fullNameTabs": [
{
"tabLabel": "FullName"
},
{
"tabLabel": "FullName2"
}
],
"textTabs": [
{
"tabLabel": "Address",
"value": "32 Duke Road"
}
]
}
}
]

It looks like you're missing the documentId and tabPositions to display the full name on your document. Here is an example working request body with raw document omitted:
{
"documents": [
{
"documentBase64": "<Base64BytesHere>",
"documentId": "1",
"fileExtension": "docx",
"name": "testFile"
}
],
"emailSubject": "testing envelope",
"recipients": {
"signers": [
{
"email": "john.doe#example.com",
"name": "Docusign Test Signer",
"recipientId": "1",
"routingOrder": "1",
"tabs": {
"fullNameTabs": [
{
"documentId": "1",
"pageNumber": "1",
"xPosition": "280",
"yPosition": "172"
},
{
"documentId": "1",
"pageNumber": "1",
"xPosition": "480",
"yPosition": "300"
}
],
"signHereTabs": [
{
"documentId": "1",
"pageNumber": "1",
"xPosition": "120",
"yPosition": "300"
}
]
}
}
]
},
"status": "sent"
}
And the resulting fullName placement shown on a demo document I tried with this request json:
Though I didn't use an envelope templateId here, the mechanism works the same, set the documentID, pageNumber, & x/y coordinates to inject the fullName on your documents.
