If you have a checkbox question in your Google Form, Form Publisher lets you choose how to separate the different options in your template if the respondent ticked multiple answers.
Choose your separator formats for checkbox questions
When you open the Template configuration sidebar, you will notice different separators for the checkbox marker/item.
For example, if you're using a template from Google Sheets, these options will be displayed as follows:
More separator formats (like the numbered and bulleted list) are available for Google Docs templates:
Just select the format that you want to separate answers from checkboxes. The results are summarized in the table below.
Available standard separator formats for checkboxes
| Separator Format |

|---|---|
| , | Option 1, Option 2, Option 3 |
| ; | Option 1; Option 2; Option 3 |
| / | Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 |
| - | Option 1 - Option 2 - Option 3 |

Hi, I am creating a checkbox grid, whereby the respondent can select multiple columns in a row. I'm having problems with the output creating a list seperated by commas, but with no space between them. So it's looking like this:
Sessions Required [Monday]: Early start club,Morning session,Lunch club
Is there any way that I can get it to display as either a bulleted list or at the very least, with a space after each comma? Many thanks - I love this plug in and it's really helped streamline our processes :)
Hi,
This is not possible for the moment but this is a great idea to let you the possibility to change the separator just like with a Checkbox question.
We will implement this a s soon as possible.
Thank you for your request!
That's great, thank you!
With Checkboxes. is there a way to actually check a box? I have a form where they want all of the options listed and only want the box selected.
Hi,
This is currently only possible with formulas inside a Google Spreadsheet template.
Hi,
First of all, thanks for your add-on and congratulations.
I'm writing because, although I am using a google doc as a template, this option to choose the Checkbox question output doesn't appear.
Thank you.
Hi,
Could you contact our support team so that we can help you find the option ?
Is it possible to edit the checkbox results upon submission? I have a list of options that start with a number, followed by text, and I always have to edit my user's forms by clearing out all the text before saving the final file.
Example (bold represents selected fields):
Result in form should be: 55.1, 55.2
Thanks!
Hi,
It's possible to do so using a Spreadsheet Template and Formulas. It's unfortunately not possible in Slides and Docs.
i selected "bulleted list" and in my template i have it displayed twice with the << >>.
but in the output document it is only displayed once.
What is up with that ?
Hello
is it possible from a ggoogle sheet to generate additional pages to the basic document template. I use a google form to generate a commercial proposal to my customers.
according to the client, I can add a pc, a backup, a copier ...
and I would like that in my basic template if pc is checked then it adds a "pc" page to the basic template.
is it possible?
Hi Eric,
A single question results can only be displayed once in a template.
However if you want to display two different question results with bullet points and it did not work could you please contact us at https://support.form-publisher.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and provide us with your template in order to be able to investigate ?
Thanks

Hi Johann Luyat,
Yes, linking additional templates to the main one based on the responses submitted is possible. Please have a look at this article that details this process https://support.form-publisher.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001348005-Conditional-template-Generate-different-templates-based-on-response-submitted .
Thanks.
Hi :)

Thanks

Publisher not "remembering" to produce checkboxes in a bulleted list. I have edited the template, ensured the markers that have checkboxes have "bulleted list" indicated, and save that. Publisher may produce the pdf output once that way. Then some of the checkboxes revert to comma separated values and some remain as bulleted list, changing every time. What am I doing wrong?
