Hello! We're using DocGen for Salesforce for our documents, and everything is working as needed except for having custom input fields be pulled into the doc before sending.

We have Signature Placeholder fields for s1, n1, d1, etc, and those all work great when sending the document (which is connected to an envelope). We also have Custom Fields with anchor text set-up the same way, but when we go to send the document, it automatically adds the Signature, Name, Date, etc fields for signer input, but the custom text fields are not added until I drag them into the 'Prepare & Send' pane. Once I drag them in, the Autoplace that is set-up does put them where it should be putting them, but I cannot figure out what is missing to cut out this step of dragging the custom field in. I don't want the eventual senders to need to remember to do this for all the custom input fields every time.

Thanks!

I did end up creating a DocuSign Support ticket and got it figured out, thanks!

If anyone comes across this, when you create the custom fields, it will create them with anchor tags like /tel1/, but you need to go into DocuSign (or I guess can update from within Salesforce) and update the anchor tags to be something like /tel{r}/. In your actual doc you'll have tel1, tel2, tel3, but the anchor text needs to have {r} instead of the number.
