Here are some of the latest popular questions that developers asked in the Docusign Community for the month of September 2025.
Thread: Is it possible to wrap the value of an anchor tag?
Summary: The developer is adding tabs to a document using anchor strings, and they want to place those tabs within a table. When a recipient fills out the tab, the text within the tab should wrap to the next line so that it stays contained within the table’s borders.
Answer: One solution is to set the value of disableAutoSize on the tab to true. This disables the auto-sizing of single line text boxes in the signing screen and only allows users to enter as much data as the text box can hold. It’s also possible to control the size of the text tab with the height and width properties.
Thread: Need to add CEO signature in signed document
https://community.docusign.com/esignature-api-63/need-to-add-ceo-signature-in-signed-document-25397
Summary: The developer is creating envelopes through the eSignature REST API and wants to automatically add their CEO’s signature to all of their documents that are sent to suppliers.
Answer: Docusign does not support the automation of signatures in envelopes. In order for electronic signatures to be valid, the document needs to be reviewed and signed by a human. The developer will need to add the CEO as a recipient of the envelope and they will need to electronically sign each document in order for it to be valid.
Thread: Refresh token expiry automation
https://community.docusign.com/authentication-67/refresh-token-expiry-automation-25310
Summary: The developer is authenticating with Authorization Code Grant and is looking for the best way to automate getting a refresh token. Their current solution is to manually make the API call to get a new token through Postman each time the token expires. They’re looking for a solution that removes this extra step.
Answer: You can automate the authentication process, including the process of getting a refresh token by making the necessary API calls through SDKs. With these SDKs, you can use the generateAccessToken method which is passed your app's integration key, client secret key, and authorization code. The method exchanges the authorization code for an access token and returns an access token.
