  <p>SO I got a 200 OK and my envelope was created successfully, however the recipient custom field does not appear when I do a simple GET on the envelope. 
  I think it's not taken into account.
  This is my GET URI</p>
  
  <p><code>https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/{accountID}/envelopes/{envelopeid}/recipients?include_extended=true&amp;include_tabs=true</code> </p>
  
  <p>this is the result : </p>

  <p>I've tried creating the envelope in draft mode and then making a PUT request to add the custom field, but it didn't work either...</p>
  
  <p>PS: I've successfully created envelopes with recipient custom fields (not based on a template) and it was ok and the recipient custom field was well integrated in the envelope. </p>
