Google-forms – Make Google Forms in plain text

google-forms

I'm looking for a way of creating Google Forms with some sort of plain text syntax and then uploading it to Drive. Are there any addons that might make that possible?

If that's not something that exists, does anyone know how to make form creation go quicker? The web interface is too clunky for me.

There is an add-on called: doc to form You can easily create a form using Google Docs and after that the add-on will generate the form. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/doc-to-form/paadgjaehgkbopbjfaomaophiphlmalh?authuser=0

There is a demo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc2mdj4kVJg

The short answer is: You can't do that using Google's form builder.

The longer answer is that you can copy the form's HTML code and host it on your own website. That HTML code may then be modified to have the button display any text you'd like.
Copying and hosting the HTML code does have its drawbacks. If you edit the form from Google's form builder, the copied HTML code will of course not be updated, so you'd have to copy and mofiy it again.

See this article from ohdoylerules.com for how to copy and host the HTML code. Note that in this article, they are using Google Drive to host their customised HTML. That feature is not available in new Google Drive, so you will have to host your HTML somewhere else.

I have created a demo form here: http://vvv.vidarramdal.com/stackoverflow/webapps-66392/

I have searched the online lots for the answer to my question and several 
times the setText('text button') function has been mentioned. From what I can 
see this only applies to the these more complex customised forms. If that's 
not correct ...

No, you are correct.
