Prompt Title: Auto update for Linking objects

Yes, there is a way to automatically update the linked objects in Google Docs when the corresponding Google Sheets is changed. Here's how you can achieve it:

1. Open the Google Doc that contains the linked objects.
2. Click on the linked object in the document to select it.
3. In the top right corner of the linked object, you should see a small toolbar. Click on the three dots icon (⋮) to open the menu.
4. From the menu, select "Update" to manually update the linked object. This step is important to establish the initial link between the Google Sheets and the Google Doc.
5. Once the linked object is updated, right-click on it and select "Link options" from the context menu.
6. In the "Link options" sidebar that appears on the right side of the document, select the checkbox for "Update automatically."
7. Close the "Link options" sidebar.

With these steps, you've configured the linked object to update automatically whenever the corresponding Google Sheets is changed. Now, whenever new data is added to the Google Sheets from the Google Form, it should reflect in the linked object in the Google Doc without requiring manual intervention.

Note that the "Update automatically" option will only be available if the linked object is linked to a Google Sheets document. If you don't see this option, double-check that you've linked the correct object to the Google Sheets and try updating it again.

Remember, this feature depends on a stable internet connection and proper authorization to access the linked Google Sheets document.

I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the option to update the linked object automatically directly within Google Docs may not be available. However, there is an alternative solution you can try using Google Apps Script to achieve the automatic update.

Here's a workaround using Google Apps Script:

1. Open the Google Doc that contains the linked object.
2. Click on the linked object in the document to select it.
3. In the top right corner of the linked object, you should see a small toolbar. Click on the three dots icon (⋮) to open the menu.
4. From the menu, select "Copy link" to copy the URL of the linked object. Keep this URL handy for the following steps.
5. Open the Google Sheets document linked to the form responses.
6. From the menu, go to "Tools" > "Script editor" to open the Google Apps Script editor.
7. In the Apps Script editor, delete any existing code and paste the following code:

javascriptCopy code
function onFormSubmit(e) {
  var docUrl = "PASTE_THE_COPIED_LINK_HERE";
  var doc = DocumentApp.openByUrl(docUrl);
  var body = doc.getBody();
  var range = e.range;
  var values = range.getValues();

  // Clear existing content in the linked object
  body.clear();

  // Append the new data from the form response to the linked object
  values.forEach(function(row) {
    var rowText = row.join("\t"); // Customize the delimiter if needed
    body.appendParagraph(rowText);
  });
}

8. Replace "PASTE_THE_COPIED_LINK_HERE" in the code with the URL you copied in step 4.
9. Save the script by clicking on the floppy disk icon or by pressing Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac).
10. Close the Apps Script editor.

Now, whenever a new response is submitted through the Google Form, the script will automatically update the linked object in the Google Doc with the latest data from the Google Sheets.

Make sure that the Google Sheets document and the script have the necessary permissions to access the Google Doc. You may need to authorize the script when you run it for the first time.

Please note that this workaround involves using custom code and may require some understanding of Google Apps Script.

I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the interface has changed since my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

As an alternative, you can try the following steps to achieve the automatic update of linked objects in Google Docs:

1. Open the Google Sheets document that is linked to the form responses.
2. From the menu, click on "File" and select "Publish to the web".
3. In the dialog box that appears, click on the "Link" tab.
4. Under "Get a link to the published data", select the desired sheet from the dropdown menu.
5. Make sure the "Automatically republish when changes are made" checkbox is checked.
6. Click on the "Publish" button.
7. Copy the generated URL from the "Link" section.

Now that you have the URL of the published data, you can insert it into your Google Doc as a linked object using the "Insert" > "Link" feature:

1. Open the Google Doc where you want to insert the linked object.
2. Position the cursor where you want the linked object to appear.
3. From the menu, click on "Insert" and select "Link".
4. In the "Text" field, enter the desired display text for the linked object.
5. In the "Link" field, paste the URL of the published data that you copied earlier.
6. Click on the "Apply" button.

By following these steps, you have inserted a linked object in your Google Doc that is connected to the published data from the Google Sheets document. The linked object should update automatically whenever changes are made to the Google Sheets document.

Please note that the steps provided are based on the current interface as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. Google's interface and features may change over time, so there might be slight variations in the steps or options.

I apologize for the confusion. If you want to insert the Google Sheets data as an embedded object in the Google Doc instead of a link, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Sheets document that is linked to the form responses.
2. Select the range of cells containing the data you want to insert into the Google Doc.
3. Right-click on the selected cells and choose "Copy" from the context menu.
4. Open the Google Doc where you want to insert the embedded object.
5. Position the cursor where you want the embedded object to appear.
6. Right-click and choose "Paste special" from the context menu.
7. In the "Paste special" dialog box, select the "Paste link" option.
8. Click on the "Paste" button.

By following these steps, you have inserted the selected range of cells from the Google Sheets document as an embedded object in your Google Doc. The embedded object will be linked to the original Google Sheets, and any changes made in the Sheets document will be reflected automatically in the embedded object within the Google Doc.

Please note that any formatting applied to the cells in the Google Sheets document may not carry over to the embedded object in the Google Doc. If you want to maintain formatting, you may need to manually apply it in the Google Doc after pasting the embedded object.

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that the steps provided so far do not directly address the automatic update of linked objects in Google Docs when the linked Google Sheets is changed.

Unfortunately, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there isn't a built-in feature in Google Docs to automatically update linked objects when the source Google Sheets is modified. The linked objects need to be manually updated by clicking the "Update" button or using the "Update" option from the context menu.

If you require the linked objects to update automatically, you may need to consider alternative solutions such as using Google Apps Script or third-party add-ons to create a custom solution for your specific needs.
