How to add a dynamic field to a Google form?

Question

Is there a function Add a new field using jQuery or Add fields using Javascript in Google forms?

I am creating a questionnaire application using the google apps script, and questions and answers will be asked from my admin panel (the administrator decides how many questions will be there). It would be ideal if there was (+) next to the form to automatically load another text box below the form.

Answer 1

I founded a great reason for this, why it cannot add dynamic fields to Google Forms, because Google Forms applications are completely linked to distribution sheets

All forms having separate tables are there.

Thus, it is not possible to create dynamic fields in Google forms due to the strong connection with the spreadsheet.

This can be said of the static relationship between Google Forms and tables.

Answer 2

I think you want to create a new page that can be sent to a Google spreadsheet using jQuery with the JSON data API and the Google Spreadsheets Data API

Answer 3

Short answer

Yes, you can create / edit a form programmatically using the form service Class Form

Note. Currently, it is not possible to make changes to the form / questions based on user input, for example, to create cascading drop-down lists.
