DocuSign Status not - salesforce

Question

I am a newbie to DocuSign integration with SalesFocre. I have DocuSign and Salesforce connected using connect settings, and am sending a DocuSign document from a custom object in salesForce. However, the DocuSign Status and the DocuSign Recipient Status are not populating on the Custom object. DocuSign Customer Support confirmed that my connect settings on DocuSign and salesForce are correct. In the DocuSign logs I can see the "dsfs__DocuSign_Status__c succeeded". But I do not see the same in the related list of the custom object. I can see the DocuSign status object in SalesForce shows all the envelopes but no related list records on custom object. The support person thinks that since the DocuSign integration is done using REST api, she will not be able to investigate the issue any further.
My REST api call is as per the sample code in DocuSign rest api implementation. However I do not know how do we notify the DocuSign of the relationship between the custom object and the envelope? I have not come across any documentation on this. Support person thinks that that might cause this issue. I am on a time crunch and will appreciate any help I can get.

If DocuSign Status and DocuSign Recipient Status aren't populating on the Custom Object in SFDC, I'd suspect that you've missed something in terms of configuration. I'd suggest that you verify that all settings have been configured properly (in both DocuSign and SFDC), as described in this article: https://support.docusign.com/guides/dfs-admin-guide-add-ds-status-to-custom-object.
UPDATE:
In response to your comment below that contains a SOAP code snippet, it looks like that snippet is simply adding a custom field to the Envelope. Do I understand correctly that you're creating the envelope using the REST API? If so, then the equivalent REST API request to add the custom field when you create the Envelope (in the same manner as your SOAP snippet appears to be doing) would be:
POST /v2/accounts/{accountId}/envelopes
{
"emailSubject": "EMAIL_SUBJECT",
"emailBlurb": "EMAIL_BLURB",
...
"customFields": {
"textCustomFields": [
{
"name": "DSFSSourceObjectId",
"value": "ID_OF_THE_CUSTOM_OBJECT_IN_SALESFORCE",
"show": "false"
}
]
}
}
Note: I've included the emailSubject and emailBlurb properties in this request example simply to show that the customFields property is a top-level property in the "Create Envelope" request body. Depending upon your implementation specifics, you may or may not be including emailSubject and emailBlurb in your "Create Envelope" request, and your request will most certainly contain additional properties which I haven't included in the example above. The important take-away here, as it relates to your question, is that in order to add a custom field when creating an Envelope using the REST API, you must include the customFields property as a top-level property in the request body, as shown in the example above.
