How do i prepopulate field in a document before sending it from the eSignature Rest API

Question

Hello everyone,I have a simple task to complete, but since I'm new to this, I'm struggling a lot.I have a contract document with several fields that need to be updated every time I call the API. These fields include contract number, date, client information, etc. My question is: how do I prepopulate these fields?Below is a short preview of my document and how I currently call the API:{    "templateId": "' + @templateId + '",    "templateRoles": [        {            "email": "' + @signerEmail + '",            "name": "' + @signerName + '",            "roleName": "Client"        }    ],    "status": "sent"}How can I modify this to dynamically populate the fields in the document such as the contract number, date, and client details?Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @Vasile Godja, you can pre-populate the field/tab value by referencing them by their tabLabel (Data Label). For example if in your template you have a text Tab with Data Label of “client_address” your request should look like below.Code samples for different languages are available here
