How to duplicate form using Google App Script

I have a Google Form that I need to duplicate. I want to create a different form for every person on my team (30+ people).

I've looked into the documentation and I could not find a method that duplicates the form.

This is what I want to do:

var template_form = FormApp.openById('1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz');
var new_form = template_form.a_method_that_duplicates_the_form(); // Could not find this method
var new_form_id = new_form.getId();
... //and so on...

Is there any way to duplicate forms using Google App Script?

Form Service can only create, access, and modify Google Forms. In order to duplicate Forms, you have to use the Drive Service.

Here I created a code that duplicates a Form, change its Title and save it to a specific location in Drive:

function duplicateForm() {
  var templateformId = 'template form id here';
  var destFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById("destination folder id");
  var file = DriveApp.getFileById(templateformId).makeCopy("file name", destFolder);
  var fileId = file.getId()
}

Template Form:
