DocuSign: prefill every same-label text tab with the backslash-star wildcard

Version 1

Complete solution

When you prefill DocuSign template tabs and several text tabs share the same label, send the value once with the tab label prefixed by the wildcard, backslash then asterisk.

When you prefill DocuSign template tabs and several text tabs share the same label, send the value once with the tab label prefixed by the wildcard, backslash then asterisk. DocuSign then fills all tabs with that label instead of just the first. Without the prefix you would have to repeat the value entry once per tab.

Context: Stack Overflow #18181359 (accepted answer, 8 votes): the asker had multiple text tabs sharing one label in a template, but sending the value once only prefilled the first tab. The accepted answer gives the trick: prefix the tabLabel with the wildcard string, a backslash followed by an asterisk, which tells DocuSign to apply the value to every text tab carrying that label.
