I often come across orphaned forms and I or the users only have the viewform link, is there a GAM command to get the owner or form-edit link from this info?

Unfortunately this doesn't work, something about the viewform ID that doesn't relate to owner (doesn't work in Admin either)

Send me a Meet/Zoom invitation and we'll explore a possible solution.

If you do find something, please let the rest of us know: it comes up on a pretty regular basis.

Thanks,

Ian

If you have the form name or at least a word in the name you can use brute force

gam config num_threads 20 auto_batch_min 1 redirect csv ./UsersForms.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print filelist fields id,name,mimetype showmimetype gform query "name contains 'Blah'"

Yep, this was the way I would normally do it, kinda try and back-end my way to the solution, but just curious if there was a better approach. I have a ticket open with Google to see if they have a method they can share, if not I will circle back around here,
