The limit is 4,000 characters, which includes the XML and JSON structure for the settings.\n\n### Grouping Custom User Settings ###\n\nYou can group custom user settings when adding them. Grouping allows you to retrieve settings that are in a specific group, instead of retrieving all the user custom settings.\n\nTo group custom user settings, add the following information in the header, after Content-Type:\n\n`X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key:group_name`\n\nWhere the `group_name` is your designated name for the group of customer user settings. Grouping is shown in the Example Request Body below.\n\nWhen getting or deleting grouped custom user settings, you must include the extra header information.\n\nGrouping custom user settings is not required and if the extra header information is not included, the custom user settings are added normally and can be retrieved or deleted without including the additional header."
