Enum ItemType

ItemType

An enum representing the supported types of form items. Item types can be accessed from FormApp.ItemType.

To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example, FormApp.ItemType.CHECKBOX. 

// Open a form by ID and add a new section header.
const form = FormApp.create('Form Name');
const item = form.addSectionHeaderItem();
item.setTitle('Title of new section');

// Check the item type.
if (item.getType() === FormApp.ItemType.SECTION_HEADER) {
  item.setHelpText('Description of new section.');
}
