**What are you trying to achieve?: Hello! I am trying to use the form component to create a questionnaire asking multiple questions and having a slider or rating as the type. However, I cannot get the choice or radio type to work. I also cannot change the item text color or its size or any of the text colors/sizes in general. I am not planning on running this experiment online either, I just want it to work in builder. I am using an excel csv file to create the questionnaire. I am also still somewhat new to Psychopy/coding.
**What did you try to make it work?: I have tried entering in different colors in the itemColor and response columns as well as changing the values in the itemWidth columns of my excel file. I have also tried running bits of code that I have found on other forum posts but they do not seem to work either.
**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?: I get AttributeError for when I tried running some pieces of code. For example, ‘Form’ object has no attribute ‘formElements’ is one of them.
I also get this error when I tried to run a demo file by Becca. It is: 3.3553 ERROR Support for the sounddevice audio backend is not available this session. Please install psychopy-sounddevice and restart the session to enable support.

I have also gotten this error when trying to do type choice and radio. It is:3.4119 ERROR Support for the sounddevice audio backend is not available this session. Please install psychopy-sounddevice and restart the session to enable support.

Any help or advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading many other forums with no luck so far. Thanks!
