What is the character limit for DocuSign VoidedReason?

Question

Hi,Could someone confirm the maximum character limit for the VoidedReason field in the DocuSign eSignature API?Also, does the limit include spaces and line breaks (
)?Is there a separate character limit when VoidedReason is displayed in the DocuSign void notification email?

Marwan Badreldin · Answer

Hello,Maximum length in the eSignature APIInternally, the voidedReason field is limited to 200 characters. The API will accept longer input without error, but anything beyond the first 200 characters is silently truncated when the envelope is updated and stored.Does the limit include spaces and line breaks?Yes. The limit applies to the raw string length, so spaces and newline characters (including 
) are part of the 200-character count. If you want the full text preserved, keep the entire string—including whitespace and line breaks—at or below 200 characters.Separate limit in the void notification email?No. The void notification email pulls the voidedReason from the envelope record, so it uses the same truncated 200-character value. There isn’t a separate, smaller or larger email-specific character limit; whatever is stored (up to 200 characters) is what can be displayed in the email.Regards,Marwan BadreldinDeveloper Support Engineer II, Docusign
