AI-generatedSummary

Inputs
- authentication — Authentication method: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- fieldName (required) — Name of the custom field.
- fieldType (required) — Type of field: Text (free text, default) or List (dropdown with predefined values).
- additionalOptions — Optional collection. Required: whether the field is required on every envelope (default false). Show in UI: whether the field is visible in the DocuSign UI (default true). List Items: comma-separated values, meant for List type fields.
Output shape
A single item containing the DocuSign API response for the created account custom field.
The source pack shows only handler signatures for this operation (handleAccountCustomFieldCreate), not the request body or return shape. The exact response fields are not confirmed. They likely reflect the DocuSign account custom fields API response.
Examples

Field Name: Department; Field Type: Text; Additional Options: Required = true.
Example 2: Create a dropdown 'Region' with fixed choices.
Field Name: Region; Field Type: List; Additional Options: List Items = 'NA,EMEA,APAC'.
