Hello Docusign team,

I am using Docusign eSignature and I have created a template using the Docusign UI. I want to create envelopes from this template using the Python SDK. I have a couple of tabs that I want to pre-fill before sending to signers, so I used pre-fill tabs when creating the template. The problem is, I cannot find a way of prefilling these tabs using the Python SDK. 

I have seen an answer suggesting that pre-fill tabs should be used only on the UI and not on the API or SDKs. Is that true? I have chosen prefill tabs because, as I see, regular tabs are associated with a specific signer, and I want all the signers to see the values that I prefill.

Which option is best for my case: regular tabs or prefill tabs? If I choose regular tabs, will all the users be able to see the values I prefill or only the user associated with the tab?

Thanks in advance,

Alisson Porto
