Why aren't my photos now transferring from google forms?
Hi Tina, If you have created your form in google forms and customize it using the Neartail addon, it will automatically convert the question with prices into products when you select the format prices option. This will allow you to add product specific attributes such as product description, price, tax, discount, inventory, multiple products images etc. You should make the updates directly using the Neartail Editor as these options are not available in Google Forms.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
