How to Add Options in Google Forms Questions from Google Sheets?

Creating a Google Form from a spreadsheet

When you’re ready to create your form, fill out the following details:

• Name – Use this field to give your form a name that makes sense to you. This will help keep track of which forms are which as you start using them more often. For example, “Form 1” or “Form 2.”
• Description – Describe what type of data this particular sheet is collecting and why it’s important for users filling out their responses (or creating new ones). This description will appear at the top of every response sheet when users open up their responses after completing them–so make sure it gives clear instructions about how long each question should take so they don’t get confused about where exactly they’re supposed go next! If applicable, specify whether there are any required fields included within each section; otherwise people may end up leaving these blank without realizing why those questions were even included in first place.”
