You will be asked to give the executing code permission for it access your Google Drive. Please authorize it, it is safe to do so. The code will only create a form and nothing else.Please take note that any images, tables, or font styling will not be exported as Google Form doesn't allow us to programmatically create it. You will have to use Google Form's web interface to add it back in.
Once completed, go to your Google Drive and you should find the newly create Google Form there.
