#gsheets to gforms

This script is working through google's platform, allowing to transfer data from a form to another by exporting them first to a google sheet.

For now it handles the SECTION_HEADERS, TEXT, PARAGRAPH_TEXT, GRID, MULTIPLE_CHOICE and CHECKBOX items of google forms. Also it makes assumptions about the structure of the data in the spreadsheet based on how they are exported from a google form.

#using

It's pretty simple, given that items you need are implemented.

Steps:

1. Go to script.google.com
2. Start a new script and paste in the editor the contents of append-responses.gs
3. Change the urls for the sheet and form you are targeting
4. Click run and validate the necessary permissions
5. PROFIT???

If you need form items that are not implemented, you will get an exception. Please contact me, and depending on my schedule I might be of assistance.
