Hi ​@Hengfeng Ge! 

I think this request can be accomplished using existing features within Docusign.

You can get more details on that here: Envelope Transfer Support Topic. There are several articles here that cover envelope transfer in-depth. 

At which point of the process do you get the create recipient view error? Is this when the user the envelope was transferred to attempts to send the envelope for signature?

I know this is an old thread, so hopefully you’ve resolved it, but if not, I’m happy to help troubleshoot!
