EnvelopesApi updateDocument passing values

[treytt]

Hello, I am trying to rename a document before sending it to be signed. When calling $envelope->updateDocument I am not able send any updated values aside from account_id, document_id, envelope_id

This issue was recently reported with another SDK, we are tracking this under bug number DCM-6703. Please ask your DocuSign support contact to add your company's information to the bug report. I don't have a schedule for a fix.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can try to call the API directly without using the SDK. Another option is to modify your code so it includes the updated name in the API call that creates the envelope, this way the update call is not necessary

Thanks much for the response @EdwinMoralesDS, is it possible to specify the name when calling a template ID?

$envelope_definition->setTemplateId('XXX');

Hello,

It is possible to change the name of the document but you will have to include the file in your API call. This documents explains how to use composite templates to overwrite the file in your template.

@EdwinMoralesDS can you avoid having to include the file in the API call by passing a ServerTemplate in the composite template?
