Routing of a multipleChoiceItem question with multiple sections, google-apps-script google-forms

Hi beautiful people

I'm having issues in google apps script, trying to generate a google form with several pages, one of which beeing a multiple-choice question.

I succesfully set up the routing to different sections depending of the answer to the question. The issue i'm facing is the last go-to: i need the user to be redirected out of the multiple-choice question sections after completing one section.

For now, let's say I answered with the first answer, I will be redirected to the first sub-section, but then I will have to go trough the second and third sub-sections as well, despite them beeing linked to other answers.

I want to set up a goto to the next page at the end of each subsection, to skip the other ones, but idk how.

Here is a simplified version of my current script :

// Setting up the multipleChoiceItem:
let mci = form.addMultipleChoiceItem()
      .setTitle("Question")
      .setRequired(true) 
    
  // Setting up the sub-sections
  var sectionOne = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("First Section")
      .setHelpText("This is the first section");

    form.addTextItem().setTitle("Question inside section one").setRequired(true);


  var sectionTwo = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("Second section")
      .setHelpText("This is the second section");

    form.addTextItem().setTitle("Questio inside section two").setRequired(true);


  var sectionThree = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("Third section")
      .setHelpText("This is the third section");

    form.addTextItem().setTitle("Question inside section three").setRequired(true);
     
    
  // linking the sections to the answers
  mci.setChoices([
    mci.createChoice("first answer", sectionOne),
    mci.createChoice("second answer", sectionTwo),
    mci.createChoice("third answer", sectionThree)
  ]);


// The next page and the rest of the form   
var nextPage = form.addPageBreakItem()
    .setTitle("The next page")
    .setHelpText("This is the next page I would need to be redirected to after answering to any subsections of the mci");

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with pageBreakItems and GO_TO_PAGE, something that could look like this:

  sectionOne.setGoToPage(FormApp.PageNavigationType.GO_TO_PAGE(nextPage));

but I can't get it to work, it seems like the GO_TO_PAGE method was never really implemented, there is little to none info about it in the doc.

Anyway, I hope that someone has figured it out, I would appreciate a little help!

Thanks a lot mates !

So thanks to Copilot i got it figured out, turns out I was pretty close, but it was pretty difficult to get it to work dued to the lack of documentation on this very topic.

This is what it would look like:

// Setting up the multipleChoiceItem:
let mci = form.addMultipleChoiceItem()
      .setTitle("Question")
      .setRequired(true) 
    
// Setting up the sub-sections
var sectionOne = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("First Section")
      .setHelpText("This is the first section");

form.addTextItem().setTitle("Question inside section one").setRequired(true);


var sectionTwo = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("Second section")
      .setHelpText("This is the second section");

form.addTextItem().setTitle("Questio inside section two").setRequired(true);


var sectionThree = form.addPageBreakItem()
      .setTitle("Third section")
      .setHelpText("This is the third section");

form.addTextItem().setTitle("Question inside section three").setRequired(true);
     
    
// linking the sections to the answers
mci.setChoices([
    mci.createChoice("first answer", sectionOne),
    mci.createChoice("second answer", sectionTwo),
    mci.createChoice("third answer", sectionThree)
]);


// The next page and the rest of the form   
var nextPage = form.addPageBreakItem()
    .setTitle("The next page")
    .setHelpText("This is the next page I would need to be redirected to after answering to any subsections of the mci");

// [rest of the form]

// Routing to the next page after each answer section
sectionOne.setGoToPage(nextPage);
sectionTwo.setGoToPage(nextPage);
sectionThree.setGoToPage(nextPage);
