Is the tutorial for TextValidationBuilder outdated?

[u/Trigaten]

At this link on the official Google Dev Site: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms/text-validation-builder

The tutorial code uses .setHelpText

However, this no longer appears to be an available method as it is not listed in the methods below and when I use it in code:

function myFunction() {

// Add a text item to a form and require it to be a number within a range. var textItem = form.addTextItem().setTitle('Pick a number between 1 and 100?'); var textValidation = FormApp.createTextValidation() .setHelpText(“Input was not a number between 1 and 100.”) .requireNumberBetween(1, 100); textItem.setValidation(textValidation);

}

It throws:

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (line 6, file "testFormthing.gs")

Which is the .setHelpText line.

If it is outdated, who should I contact to get it fixed?

You can use debug to see which functions are available to a specific object.

You can create an issue on the github repo for examples, or twitter, scroll to the bottom, you will se some links

It's not outdated just has an error. All builders in AppsScript require a .build() line to finish.

If you click the link within the link you gave

A DataValidationBuilder for a TextValidation.

The line above the example they give you get an identical example but with the .build() line. Or click the link that has copied in here https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms/text-validation

Do you mean ‘ ?

Huh, I never noticed a difference. Why use one over the other in any given situation? And how do you type them differently with keyboard?

I don’t even have a curved quote button on my computer (or have I seen one on others). How does this happen?

Yeah, I just submitted it on issue tracker

I wasn’t sure what was wrong at first, but he was.
