Dynamically populate Custom Tab list from a REST API Call.

Question

I am attempting to populate the values in a custom tab (type: list) by making a call to a REST API we host. The use case is that we are having residents of a senior living facility who are signing lease disclosures in Docusign, and we want them to indicate the name of the facility (from a list) and their resident ID from the electronic health records system they use at the facility. Both of those lists are ever-changing, so they need to be dynamically updated as each envelope is created and sent.

My question is, is there a way to dynamically populate a custom tab list by calling a REST API?
