class FormApp method .create()
FormApp is the Apps Script service.
.create() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Stand up a new intake or survey form from script.
- Create a fresh form for each event or cohort.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on create. Write FormApp.create(), not FormApp.create or create by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like FormApp.create().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write FormApp.create(), not FormApp .create(), FormApp.create (), or FormApp . create().
- Wrong capitalization. Use FormApp and create, not formapp or create.
