Find out about the latest releases of Form Publisher in 2021!

March 29th

Add-on

• From the new Form Publisher add-on for Google Sheets, you can now access the Help Center and the Contact Form.

Bug fix

• We noticed that if your generated document contained a long URL which was displayed on multiple lines, the PDF viewers couldn't detect it and only one segment of the url was clickable. We are happy to say that this is no longer the case.
• You can enable the "Edit after submit" option in the "Sharing options and Notifications" sidebar even if you are using an additional template. It will now be successfully generated!

Bug fix

• Did you see the error message “Something went wrong when executing the add-on” after you click Select output file formats in Form Publisher for Google Sheets. We noticed that too and have now resolved it.
• Form Publisher in Google Forms started to generate Google Docs templates which no longer included the marker name before the actual marker. For example, if you were used to seeing Venue Name: <<Venue Name>> in the generated Google Docs template, the issue was that now only <<Venue Name>> would appear. We’re glad to share that Form Publisher again adds the marker name.
• When files regeneration is triggered after an edited form response, Form Publisher is back to correctly saving the regenerated files in the configured folder instead of in the root (top-level) folder of your Google Drive, which was incorrect.

March 16th

Bug fix

• A recipient did not receive a notification if you switch their document type to one that is not configured for any of the other recipients. For example, a single recipient did not receive a PDF file if PDF is not configured for any of the other recipients. This issue is now resolved.
• We also resolved the issue of form respondents not receiving a document type which was not configured for any of the other recipients.
