Hello.
I'm trying to automate setting up a new form, and I've hit some snags.
I can't see anything to change the Responders of the form in the API to allow anyone with the link to respond (the default is anyone within the organisation). Is that something that can be set programmatically (perhaps file sharing options of some sort)? A pointer would be very welcome here.
There's an API call setPublishSettings, but I can't see a GAM call for it. Is there a GAM option for this endpoint? https://developers.google.com/workspace/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms/setPublishSettings
As an aside, I also had issues yesterday using gam ... show fileinfo ... returnidonly with the form URL to get the form ID: the form's reply URL was of the form "d/e/<id>" and it was giving the form ID as "e", which obviously didn't work. I can't replicate it today; it may have been form or URL-specific. That's no longer an issue for me because I'm capturing the ID when creating the form, but I thought it was odd.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Warm regards,
Robert.
