DocuSign API: Pre-filling radio group tabs for template

Question

I have radio groups setup in my DocuSign template, and am trying to fill it up while creating an envelope using the template. Here's the XML structure that I've made:

<envelopeDefinition xmlns="http://www.docusign.com/restapi">
   <accountId>******</accountId>
   <status>sent</status>
   <templateId>******</templateId>
   <templateRoles>
      <templateRole>
         <email>******@test.com</email>
         <name>****** ******</name>
         <roleName>General</roleName>
         <clientUserId>UserId</clientUserId>
         <tabs>
            <textTabs>
               <text>
                  <tabLabel>Name</tabLabel>
                  <value>Test User</value>
               </text>
               <text>
                  <tabLabel>Address 1</tabLabel>
                  <value>123 Main Street</value>
               </text>
               <text>
                  <tabLabel>Address 2</tabLabel>
                  <value>Venice, CA 12345</value>
               </text>
            </textTabs>
            <radioGroupTabs>
               <radioGroup>
                  <groupName>Radio Group 1</groupName>
                  <radios>
                     <radio>
                        <selected>True</selected>
                        <value>Radio 1</value>
                     </radio>
                     <radio>
                        <selected>False</selected>
                        <value>Radio 2</value>
                     </radio>
                  </radios>
               </radioGroup>
            </radioGroupTabs>
         </tabs>
      </templateRole>
   </templateRoles>
</envelopeDefinition>

Is this XML request correct? The 'Name' and 'Address *' tabs are correctly filled, but the radio group tabs are not filled at all.

Your XML looks correct to me; in fact, I was able to copy/paste (including the radioGroupTabs portion) from your code sample into my own request and it works as desired -- i.e., the radio button specified as selected in the request is indeed selected when the recipient opens the envelope.

I'd suggest you verify that the values of groupName and value (for each Radio) in the Request XML match exactly with the corresponding values specified for the Radio Button Tag Properties, as shown here in the DocuSign UI -- and keep in mind that values are case-sensitive:
