Frequently Asked Questions

How does Durable handle form versioning?

When modifying forms, Durable ensures changes align with the current form version to prevent conflicts. The system validates the revision ID before applying updates for data consistency.

Can I update multiple aspects of a form at once?

Yes! Durable supports batch updates where you can simultaneously update form settings and modify items (add, remove, or change questions) in a single operation for efficiency.

How are form responses retrieved?

Responses can be retrieved individually by ID or in bulk with pagination support. You can also filter by submission date to process only recent responses or responses within specific timeframes.

What happens to a form when it is moved to trash?

Moving a form to trash makes it inaccessible to respondents and removes it from active form lists. Forms in trash can typically be restored from the Google Forms interface if needed.

Can I control when forms accept responses?

Yes. You can programmatically open and close forms for responses, making them either accessible or unavailable based on your schedule, capacity limits, or business rules.

How are new forms initially configured?

New forms are created in an unpublished state by default, giving you time to configure questions, settings, and validation rules before making them available to respondents.
