DocuSign REST api un-group tabs

Question

I need to ungroup the tabs in envelope which is created in \'draft\' status so that if I move one SignHere tab position on one page, all other SignHere don\'t move. I did a GET

Answer 1

You are only updating a single instance of the tab. So only one Tab is being ungrouped. Instead you should update all the Tab instances

Step I : Retrieve all Anchor tab locations

Use the listRecipientTabs api to retrieve the tabs for the recipient. Specify the query string parameter include_anchor_tab_locations=true to retrieve all the anchor tab locations.

GET /v2/accounts/{accId}/envelopes/{envId}/recipients/{recipId}/tabs?include_anchor_tab_locations=true

Step II : Update all anchor tab instances to ungroup

Use the updateRecipientTabs api to set anchorString='' for all tab instances. Other tab properties can be excluded in the PUT call.

PUT /v2/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes/{envelopeId}/recipients/{recipientId}/tabs

{
  "signHereTabs": [
    {
      "anchorString": "",
      "tabid": "37dac2a5-c5fa-4726-b28a-3ec7af7e4189"
    },
    {
      "anchorString": "",
      "tabid": "<Specify Tab Id here>"
    },
    {
      "anchorString": "",
      "tabid": "<Specify Tab Id here>"
    } 
  ]
}
