custom validation on Google G-Suite Form with an add-on

I am looking to do custom validation on a Google Form. I figure I need to add custom code to the form. The only events available are on open and on submit. on open is for when the form is opened for editing, not submitting. So there does not seem to be a way to add custom validation to the form this way.

I was looking at the various Form Add-on examples but all of them seem to modify the form edit experience. Is it possible to modify the form view/submission experience? Could I use an add-on to add custom validation (i.e. only weekends selected on a date field)?

Solution

  • Google doesn't offer a way to use code to customize the view/submission experience for Google Forms and add-ons can't add custom validation for the same reason.

    One alternative among many others is to use Google Apps Script to create a web application.
