In Docusign CLM, we currently have standard Dropdown and Dynamic Dropdown attribute types for selecting values
However, these options are limited when working with reference lists (>35) such as cost center codes and descriptions.
Proposed enhancement:
Introduce a new “Lookup” attribute type that allows users to:
-
Search and filter from a large dataset (e.g., cost centers, departments, vendors).
-
Display both code and description columns for easier selection.
-
Optionally pull data from an external or internal reference table (via API or data source link).
-
Use this lookup field in Document Generation, Workflows, and Forms.
Example use case:
When generating a document, a user could type part of a cost center code or description (e.g., “44100” or “Marketing”) and select the correct entry from a searchable dropdown list.
