Once you get the log, please attach only the request body of the CreateEnvelope API call.

Hello again,

Thanks for the answer and sorry for the delay.

Here are the logs of the envelop creation, and the generated pdf files are included in base 64.

I also join a screenshot of the current regional settings that leads to validation error.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Thanks for the log. I was able to reproduce the same issue. Unfortunately, this issue turned out to be a bug. I filed the Jira case in Engineering and they will investigate this. The Jira case number is TT-7417. We apologize for the inconvenience that has caused, and we greatly appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

For the time being, as a workaround, I would recommend using a Text tab with a validation pattern and a validation message to enforce the format. More information about the tab types is here: https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/reference/envelopes/enveloperecipienttabs/#tab-types

Hello,

May you explain me what i’m missing ? 

I can’t make my tabs work.

Here is my code

final var documents = request.getDocuments().stream()
                .map(docusignDocument ->  new Document()
                        .name(docusignDocument.getName())
                        .documentId(String.valueOf(docusignDocument.getId()))
                        .documentBase64(docusignDocument.getEncodedBase64())
                        .fileExtension("pdf")
                        .transformPdfFields("true")
                        .tabs(new Tabs()
                                .dateTabs(List.of(new Date()
                                                .tabLabel("DocusignDate1")
                                                .required("true")
                                                .validationMessage("date validation"),
                                        new Date()
                                                .tabLabel("DocusignDate2")
                                                .required("true")
                                                .value("14/12/2024")
                                                .validationMessage("date 2 validation")
                                ))
                                .textTabs(List.of(new Text()
                                                .tabLabel("DocusignText1")
                                                .required("true")
                                                .validationPattern("^e0-3]^0-9]\\/(0]1-9]|110-2])\\/20)2-3]04-9]$")
                                                .validationMessage("validation test message"),
                                        new Text()
                                                .tabLabel("DocusignText2")
                                                .required("true")
                                                .value("TEST")
                                                .validationPattern("^e0-3]^0-9]\\/-0-1]/1-2]\\/20]2-3]04-9]$")
                                                .validationMessage("an other validation message")
                                ))
                        )
                )
                .toList();

and here is the template i use, convert it to pdf, base64 and then send it to docusign

<h1>TEST docusign</h1>

<form action="">
  <input type="text" data-pdf-form-field="true" name="DocusignDate1"/>
  <input data-pdf-form-field="true" name="DocusignDate2"/>

  <input type="text" data-pdf-form-field="true" name="DocusignText1"/>
  <input type="text" data-pdf-form-field="true" name="DocusignText2"/>
</form>

And here is the generated document on docusign

You should define the tabs under the recipient object instead of the document object. Other than the prefill tab, the regular tabs, such as signHereTab, textTab, or dateTab, should be defined under the recipient. 

I would recommend you follow this how-to article to send the envelope with the signHere tab to understand how you can build the envelopeDefinition correctly: https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-rest-api/how-to/request-signature-email-remote/

In addition, the PDF form field isn't something you can define through the HTML in my understanding.
