Thanks, Mr. Amit. This video tutorial was very useful & I was able to create a Google Form using the script. But I have a question, how to create multiple Google Form Dropdown List with the same Gogle Sheet. It will be of great help If you can share the video tutorial on the same.

Hi Amit, is it possible to use this option to select a list of items for Question 2 base on what was elected in Question1, i.e. Question 1 is a dropdown to select a town name, Question 2 must be all the doctors in that specific town that was selected in Question 1, almost like a filter.

[@markjohnson8355]

This is a GREAT video, and it solved a big issue for me! But, it also created a problem. All of my "Go to section based on answer" information gets erased every time the form updates with the sheet data. How can the code be changed to assign the "Go to section" information each time the form updates?

[@nihadnassar]

I want to make a google sheet where the options would be limited based on the dropdown they select. For eg: If they select a country like India then the next dropdown should be of all the states. And also I need the form to automatically enter a country code when they select the country when i download the data later in sheets. Could you help me with that.

[@ricv3157]

Hmm some changes to the coding apps stuff, makes this not work. Also the script on the website is radically different from the video.... Kind of doesnt help.

[@JohnPaulDelaRosa-xm5ry]

i get this error even though i already set the permissions, can someone help Exception: No item with the given ID could be found. Possibly because you have not edited this item or you do not have permission to access it.

Thanks for the video. Actually, the code that you show in this video is not the same code that is in your web, wich one works? I tried the one that is in your web and it's an error in line 10. Thanks.

Thanks for the wonderful and very useful media. I am building a form, in which I need to pull the data from spreadsheet (after part1 of the form is filled) and present that data in a part 2 of that form. To give an example, when a person submits part 1 of the form, based on the email id of the submitter, data relating to that email id from a spreadsheet needs to be pulled up and pre-filled in part 2 of the form. And then the Part 2 can be filled as usual. I would be grateful if you could make a nice video on the above subject as well. Thanks, once again
