docusign api: adding agent recipient - docusignapi

Question

Can you please help me with my below query?
I am currently using demologin to connect to docusign and sending an envelope with 3 recipients - agent, signer , signer. My agent should be able to review and change the email address and name of the first signer. I have set below tags true for agent.
<canEditRecipientEmails>true</canEditRecipientEmails>
<canEditRecipientNames>true</canEditRecipientNames>
I have also added below tags to my first signer though they have made no effect:
<agentCanEditEmail>true</agentCanEditEmail>
<agentCanEditName>true</agentCanEditName>
When agent receives an email and opens it, it says: "There are no recipients to address.
Click 'Complete and Send' to complete your portion of this envelope."
I am expecting below message
"You have been asked to review and add recipient information.
Please enter the email address and name for the associated role and click 'Complete and Send'."
In my xml if I leave signer1 email address and name then it is working fine, agent can enter the email address and name.
Can you please let me know if anything wrong with my xml:

Answer 1

You are getting the message "There are no recipients to address" because you have already filled out the recipient information for your two signers so there's no info for the Agent to enter. To resolve try removing the name and email for each (or just one of those fields) and the agent will then be able to set their info. I just test this and it worked once I removed those fields for the signers.
So, your recipients section of your xml should looks something like this:
<recipients>
<agents>
<agent>
<email>custEmail</email>
<name>recipientNameCust</name>
<recipientId>1</recipientId>
<routingOrder>1</routingOrder>
<canEditRecipientEmails>true</canEditRecipientEmails>
<canEditRecipientNames>true</canEditRecipientNames>
</agent>
</agents>
<signers>
<signer>
<recipientId>2</recipientId>
<routingOrder>2</routingOrder>
<tabs>
<signHereTabs>
<signHere>
<anchorString>SIGNED on behalf of the Customer</anchorString>
<anchorXOffset>10</anchorXOffset>
<anchorYOffset>50</anchorYOffset>
<anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent>false</anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent>
<anchorUnits>Pixels</anchorUnits>
<documentId>1</documentId>
<recipientId>2</recipientId>
<tabLabel>Sign Here1</tabLabel>
<name>SignHere1</name>
</signHere>
</signHereTabs>
</tabs>
</signer>
<signer>
<recipientId>3</recipientId>
<routingOrder>3</routingOrder>
<tabs>
<signHereTabs>
<signHere>
<anchorString>SIGNED on behalf of Total Gas</anchorString>
<anchorXOffset>10</anchorXOffset>
<anchorYOffset>50</anchorYOffset>
<anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent>false</anchorIgnoreIfNotPresent>
<anchorUnits>Pixels</anchorUnits>
<documentId>1</documentId>
<recipientId>3</recipientId>
<tabLabel>Sign Here2</tabLabel>
