and search for Form Field Range.
Click Install, and once the installation is complete, you’ll see the add-on in the toolbar of your Google Form.

3. Choose Which Fields to Populate
Once the sheet is linked, you can choose the specific fields in your form that will be populated. For example, you can pull data into multiple-choice questions, dropdown menus, or checkboxes.

4. Customize Update Frequency
