While Form Builder tries to achieve all possible ways of making it easier, there are a few limitations, primarily due to the lack of underlying Google Forms API support and/ or limitations on Google Forms.
Note: It is important to understand the limitations and use the suggested workaround:
You can see below the known limitations.
Google Forms API limit on the number of questions.
Google Forms has a limitation on the number of questions that can be added to a form, through the API. When attempting to add a large number of questions in a single batch update, or when the form is already too large, the Google Forms API returns an error indicating that the batch update failed due to exceeding the entry limit of the form schema.
If you're experiencing this issue, please refer to the problem on Google's Issue Tracker at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/257209910. Kindly consider clicking on 'Vote: I am impacted' and leaving your comments to convey to Google the significance of addressing this limitation (within the Google Form API).

Form Builder is unable to Mark all other answers incorrect.
The Form Builder cannot automatically mark all other answers as incorrect for short-answer questions because the Google Forms API doesn’t support this functionality.
Workaround: Manually mark incorrect answers after importing all other fields through Form Builder.
If Google APIs resolve these limitations, we will be incorporating the same in Form Builder as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
