Im using Copy Down with Autocrat. I am receiving the following error and I was wondering how to fix. Any insight would be appreciated.

!!!ERR: Failed to add merged file to folder due to Google error: API call to drive.files.patch failed with error: Increasing the number of parents is not allowed;

Are you trying to use a shared drive?

Autocrat doesn't work with a shared drive.

Does copy down work?

The error seems like a autocrat error

Neither is working and it is on my personal (not shared) drive.

Did CopyDown ever work?  Sometimes, submitting a response before setting up copydown helps.

I prefer to use an Arrayformula in row one.  There is a video on my YouTube channel.

I really appreciate your follow up.  We got it working in all aspects but it is not emailing a copy of the forms to person filling it out which I think is an autocrat issue.  We have reviewed that portion and it appears to be correctly setup so I am not sure why this is the case.

That is a question for the Autocrat group.  Check the autocrat status column.  The email merge tag must match the column title.

I may have spoke too soon.  I just ran and received the following error

Document successfully created; Document successfully merged; PDF created; !!!ERR: Failed to add merged file to folder due to Google error: API call to drive.files.patch failed with error: File not found: #N/A;
