Hi, we have added a document and when we go to add merge fields we get a, ‘Attempt to de-reference a null object’.  The message disappears and then we can add merge fields. We then go to add the merge fields fields into the document and receive a ‘Save Error: Some Fields may be out of Sync Error’. We have disconnected as suggested in related articles but that did not solve the issue. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Hi @CSS,

 

Welcome to the DocuSign Community!

 

We are glad to have you here and can't wait to help share as much knowledge as possible.

 

I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing issues when using Merge Fields in your Salesforce integration, but I will help you locate the root cause of the issue.

 

Since you have disconnected and reconnected the app, the next step to try would be updating your application in App Exchange.

 

Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this. 

 

Thank you for using DocuSign, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 

 

Best regards,

I was facing the same issue for one field in SANDBOX, even though that field was available in the Sandbox , but not in production. 

As the Docusign account is connected with both Sandbox and Production, I created the same field in Production and then I tried again in Sandbox. That worked perfectly!

 


Hello ​@pankaj727 
Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! I’m sorry you are also having issues adding a field to the sandbox. Rest assured, I’m here to help.

I have a few questions to ask.

  • Do you encounter any specific error messages when adding that field? 
  • What is that specific field you are referring to?
  • Can you provide the details of your sandbox via private message so we can check it?

 

Best regards,
