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. You are getting this error because of missing answers for required questions. You have added additional questions in google forms, but these changes were not synced with Formfacade or the users had already started filling the form before these changes were made. If you submit a response now, it should work without any issues. Please try this and let us know.
