Issues

I am seeing "Cookies are not enabled in your browser. Please allow cookies and login again". How do I enable cookies?

It may be that your browser is blocking third party cookies. To sign in using your Google Account on a browser (like Chrome or Safari), you need to turn on cookies if you haven't already turned it on. Fillable Document requires Google Sign in if it is enforced in audience control and hence you need to enable cookies in your browser.

Follow the instructions to turn cookies on.

When I copy the document, the fields configured in add-on are getting reset to 'text' type. How do I copy/ clone the configurations from original document?

When you copy documents through Google Drive, the configuration with the original document does not get copied. However, the fields in the document will get listed as text type (default type). You will have to configure fields to different types if you need. However if you Embed Comprehensive Field inside your documents, copying document will retain the configuration.

A field in my document is not getting rendered correctly when I view the form. What could be the issue?

Check whether your field name contains special characters. Please avoid special characters in the field. Restrict the field size to a maximum of 60 letters. It is better to have letters within 20 characters. If the problem persists, try deleting the field from the document and insert through the add-on (using place icon). If you still face issues, please contact support with screenshots and console logs.


    Another Important Note

Please make sure that you do not have single quote (') in your field name as it could break Fillable Document.

For example, change the field name ${Employee's Name} as ${Employee Name}

When I try to open the "Web Form", I get the following screen. Clicking on "Review Permissions" circles back to same screen. What is happening here? (Opening "Inline Form" works fine though)

"Web Form" is a G Suite web application that requires user's permissions to run. The permissions are same as the add-on that has been accepted by user. So ideally, this screen should not appear at all.

But, if the user has logged into multiple Google accounts in the same browser Google's permission acceptance process may get into endless loop into the same screen. Fillable Document does not have any control over this authorisation flow presented from Google; this appears to be a flaw in the authorisation flow.

How to resolve "Review Permissions" loop?
