We are experiencing an issue with the Salesforce and DocuSign integration related to updating email fields.
Current Setup:
- Salesforce has two email fields:
- Primary Email (Required)
- Secondary Email (Optional)
- Both fields are initially populated by Salesforce users.
- We send a DocuSign form that includes both email fields.
Example:
- Primary Email: test111@gmail.com
- Secondary Email: test222@gmail.com
Observed Behavior:
- If the signer updates the Secondary Email (for example, changes it to test333@gmail.com), the updated value is successfully synced back to Salesforce.
- However, if the signer clears the Secondary Email field and submits the form with it left blank, Salesforce still retains the old value (test222@gmail.com). The field is not updated to null or blank.
- The Primary Email field is mandatory, so this issue only affects the optional Secondary Email field.
Expected Behavior:
If the signer removes the Secondary Email value in DocuSign and completes the form, the corresponding Salesforce field should be updated to blank (null), removing the existing value.
Environment:
- Salesforce
- DocuSign eSignature for Salesforce
- Using a DocuSign Developer Account
Could you please confirm whether this is expected behavior, a known limitation, or a bug? If this is expected, is there any configuration or mapping option that allows blank values from DocuSign to overwrite existing Salesforce values?
Thank you.
