Hello @sophieb,
Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.
I apologize for the inconvenience, I know the importance of placing the recipients as needed, and I understand that when you enter more than 10 recipients you get the error There was an error saving one of your recipients. Please try again.
To confirm by free version are you referring to the free trial version? If yes, the limit is ten recipients per envelope.
