Custom Tab → Update
AI-generatedSummary
Updates an existing DocuSign custom tab definition (a reusable tab/field template) identified by its ID, changing only the properties you supply under Update Fields.
Inputs
- authentication — Auth method: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- customTabId (required) — ID of the custom tab definition to update.
- updateFields — Collection of optional fields to change: Tab Label (new label), Font, Bold (boolean), Required (boolean), Locked (boolean).
Output shape
A single item containing the DocuSign API response for the updated custom tab definition.
The source pack shows only the handler signature (handleCustomTabUpdate), not its body. The exact request and response fields are therefore not confirmed here. Boolean fields default to false in the UI, so check whether unset options are sent.
Examples
Example 1: Rename a reusable custom tab and make it required.
Custom Tab ID = existing tab ID; Update Fields: Tab Label = 'Employee ID', Required = true.
Example 2: Lock a custom tab and make its text bold.
Custom Tab ID = existing tab ID; Update Fields: Locked = true, Bold = true.
