How to create and submit a response in a Form

[AdamD]

I'm trying to use a script to add the response of "Smith" to the "Last Name" question in a Form.  The script runs without errors but I can't figure out why the formCreate.withItemResponse(itemResponse); line is not working properly.

The file can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QA1i1kuLiOkId5kwWuy0LSzS3Ena6YqtXDe6pGHrSrk/edit?usp=sharing

The code is:

const form = FormApp.getActiveForm();

var formResponses = form.getResponses();

var formCreate = form.createResponse();

function textResponse(){

var items = form.getItems();

for (i = 0; i < items.length; ++i){

var item = items[i];

if(item.getType() == 'TEXT' && item.getTitle() == 'Last Name') {

var textItem = item.asTextItem();

var itemResponse = textItem.createResponse('Davis');

formCreate.withItemResponse(itemResponse);

}

}

//formCreate.submit();

}

Thanks!

Solved it. (I think.) I would appreciate it if someone could explain why this was the issue.

The issue is that the text in "var itemResponse = textItem.createResponse('Davis');" was not passing through correctly.  I added a variable of "var r = 'Davis'; " and changed the line to 

"var itemResponse = textItem.createResponse(r);" and the response was then added to the Form correctly.
