The onOpen event on my Google Form is being activated only when I open the form for edition, but not when I open it to answer (/viewform). Actually, I just want it to run when someone opens the form to answer, because my script updates a combobox with current information from a table. I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it, but I'm open to suggestions. I tried both creating a function onOpen() and also creating a doIt() function and manually adding a trigger to onOpen on the Resources > Add Trigger menu. The Trigger is listed correctly and seems to be working as opening the form for

I want to write a regular expression on Google Form First Character between 1 to 9 Second and Third any alphabets (Upper Case) and next 3 characters should be number like 541 or 001 but not 000 This expression is also taking 000 [1-9][A-Z]{2}[0-9]{3} Use alternations: [1-9][A-Z]{2}([1-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][1-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9][1-9]) See regex demo Here, [1-9] - matches 1 digit from 1 to 9 [A-Z]{2} - two uppercase ASCII letters ([1-9][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][1-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9][1-9]) - 3 alternatives: [1-9][0-9][0-9] - 3-digit numbers starting with 1 [0-9][1-9][0-9] - 3-digit numbers having 1 in the

I am creating a script that takes information from a form and writes it to a calendar. When I run the script in the script editor it works great, takes information from the spreadsheet and creates a calendar event. However, when I fill out the forma and submit ( submit is the trigger) I get a error stating I do not have permission to call getActiveForm(). I own both form and calendar. I appreciate any ideas. Code function createEvent() { var calendarToUse = "testing"; var ssUrlToUse ='https://docs.google.com/a/bay.k12.fl.us/spreadsheets /d/1ZTDQL9G5U7RqbbKQbAfb3ERqFwpSsC3EOQxdD1zdQwA/edit#gid

I created a simple Google form with the fields: Name, E-mail, Salary and Request. When the user completes the form, I want to send him/her an e-mail with the info. However, I want to use the "Request" field to plug in a unique number that the user can refer to if they need further correspondence. If the user enters anything in the 'Request' field, I want to discard it and use the number that I generate (both in the response and in the spreadsheet). I've been able to piece together the script using other info I've found. It seems to work for everything except the e-mail response going back to

I have created a new script which creates "Google Form" on my google account. Following is the sample code: function myFunction() { var form = FormApp.create('New Form'); var item = form.addCheckboxItem(); item.setTitle('What condiments would you like on your hot dog?'); item.setChoices([ item.createChoice('Ketchup'), item.createChoice('Mustard'), item.createChoice('Relish') ]); form.addMultipleChoiceItem() .setTitle('Do you prefer cats or dogs?') .setChoiceValues(['Cats','Dogs']) .showOtherOption(true); form.addPageBreakItem() .setTitle('Getting to know you'); form.addDateItem() .setTitle(

I am looking to create a timer on a quiz that I am creating in Google Forms. I have found this post here - How to add a timer to Google Forms for a School Quiz? - from 2013 where it's mentioned that scripting might make this possible eventually. I am wondering if anyone has figured this out or has a solution. Ideally I would like to have the timer start when someone opens the form and auto submit or stop receiving submissions after a set elapsed time. Thanks in advance :) Kleigh A Previous Question has mentioned this before. Right now you are correct, you cannot time a quiz using a script at

I'm helping a school teacher and we have an English Language Test made using Google Forms which is split into 3 sections. We would like to be able to set a time on each section (e.g. Section A = 10 min, Section B = 10 min Section C = 40 min). We would like the student to be able to see the countdown on each section they're doing, Is this at all possible? I'm a Novice with Google Apps Script and I've seen JS code for timers but I don't know how to piece them together in the Google Form. Nothing like that available at the present time in Google Forms. You might like to wait a couple of weeks
