DocuSign REST API with radio button group tabs - docusignapi

I am currently generating DocuSign envelopes using DocuSign REST API. I have included a lot of tags and everything seems to be working fine.
I have included radio button group tabs for the same document. For some reason, after I include certain number of radio button group tab, I am getting a strange error. So far, I have added close to 80 radio button groups. Each group have YES/NO - two or more radio buttons. I have setup the value, selected properties of the radio group/radio the same way as other radio button group tab.
Here are the error details:
CUSTOMTAB_IS_INCOMPLETE
A custom tab is not complete. A custom tab requires both a name and a tab label. Radio tabs may only have one radio selected in a group.
The properties of all the radio buttons/radio groups are setup the same way.
Please advise,
Thanks,
Minal

There is a provision for creating a custom tab. But in the case of a custom tab, both the attributes Name and TabLabel should be specified. If only one of the attribute is specified in the Tab element then an exception
CUSTOMTAB_IS_INCOMPLETE
is thrown.

How to add a radio button to an already existing Group Box in Excel

I am working on an Excel sheet that was made by someone else. There are some radio buttons in a group box linked to a macro. I have made the changes into the macro and want to add another radio button in the group box. How can I do that? When I add the new button, it is working separately from the other buttons in the group.
Thanks!
Since you do not answer the clarification questions, please proceed in the next way, according to the radio button type:
Form type radio buttons:
a. You firstly need to insert a Group Box (Developer Tab - Design Mode - Group Box
b. Drag the Form radio buttons on it.
All radio buttons placed on such a group box will act in the same group
ActiveX radio buttons:
a. You simply drag them on the sheet.
b. Press Properties from Developer tab Controls group and set the same group name (string) in GroupName property.
The radio buttons having the same GroupName will act as a group.
Since you do not say anything about the group boxes, most probably you are using ActiveX radio buttons. So, check the GroupName property of existing one in the group you need to add a new one and use the same.

Can I pass a radio button value and checkbox values through a URL using Powerforms in Docusign?

Can I pass a radio button value and checkbox values through a URL using Powerforms in DocuSign?
These values would come directly from an application, and I wish to have them auto populate along with the other information from my website when the user clicks to sign I have everything transferring over except the radio buttons and checkbox values.
I have text fields opened where the value should be displayed, and I read you could have those values passed through the URL and shown in the custom fields...not sure how though.
I am also aware you can use the API, but you cannot combine API with the Powerform.
thanks in advance for the help
General documentation on populating fields through the PowerForm URL is available here: https://support.docusign.com/guides/ndse-user-guide-populate-custom-document-fields-in-a-web-powerform
Checkboxes can be preselected by setting their value to 'true'. For Radio buttons, it's GroupName=ValueName
so if I have a group of radio buttons labeled "Color" my URL might be https://demo.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&Signer 1_UserName=Example User&Signer 1_Email=user#example.com&CheckBox=true&Color=Green

Group radio buttons on Excel

I have two groups of radio buttons on the same Excel worksheet that I want them to work exclusively from each other.
I tried to search online for answers, and got to know there was GroupName Property which can be used to group the radio buttons, however, I haven't been able to locate this property.
Can anyone tell me how to find it?
There is only object positioning under the property tab of the format control window.
You need to add a group box control and then insert the radio buttons into that group box.
See here for more info: Add a group box or frame control to a worksheet
Use ActiveX controls
and in developer mode right click on RadioButton
and in properties box

How to add multiple checkboxes and radiobuttons in document using docusign REST API

I am trying to send checkboxes and radio buttons in my pdf. when I select one checkbox all the checkboxes are getting checked. how can I add multiple checkboxes
I am using Anchor strings to place the checkbox tab . Also i want checkbox left to the string how can i set Xoffset and Yoffset.
In the <tabs> element, the <tabLabel> tag is used to group the elements together. If you need to have the checkboxes to react separately from one other, the value for the <tabLabel> element needs to be different between multiple checkbox tabs.
The soap API guide for DocuSign says:
Making custom tab’s TabLabel the same will cause the all like fields
to update when the user enters data. When using this option, the
TabLabel must not contain any spaces.

Show/Hide infopath groups programmatically depending on checkbox selection

i'm new to infopath and need to ammend an existing infopath 2010 form. The users only want certain section groups to appear based on the users choice via checkboxes. Currently there are conditional rules in place for each group on the form which are working to hide/show the sections depending on whcih checkbox or checkboxes are selected.(each checkbox relates to a group). There are 19 checkboxes and related groups, the users can select 1 or more groups.
The problem is when users tick the checkbox , there is a delayed reaction seeing as there are so many condtional checks taking place on each click.The users dont like this. they would rather selct all the checkboxes they want , and then click a button to do all the work at once(instead of on each checkbox). So i've been trying to programmatically access the groups from the code behind the buttons to hide/show them depending on which checkboxes are selected. Is it even possible to set the hide/show property of a group in the code behind ?
Thanks in advance for any help
You can't show or hide sections directly with code, but you can affect data sources, which in turn can trigger rules.
See here for updating the data source programatically:
