Template Custom Field → Update
AI-generatedSummary
Updates an existing custom metadata field on a DocuSign template, changing its name, value, and/or UI visibility.
Inputs
- Authentication — Auth method: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- Template ID (required) — ID of the template that holds the custom field.
- Field ID (required) — ID of the custom field to update.
- Update Fields — Collection of optional changes: Field Name (new name), Field Value (new value), and Show in UI (whether the field is visible in the DocuSign UI; defaults to true).
Output shape
A single item containing the DocuSign API response for the updated template custom field.
The source pack shows only the handler signature (handleTemplateCustomFieldUpdate), not its body. The exact request and response shape are therefore not verified. Only the fields you add under Update Fields are expected to be changed.
Examples
Example 1: Rename a template custom field and change its value.
Template ID = , Field ID =
Example 2: Hide a custom field from the DocuSign UI.
Template ID and Field ID set; Update Fields: Show in UI = false.
