    I am attempting to copy a public form I created from my AUA Account over to my Watson account ad I get an Unauthorized Request: You do not have access to this form. I do have access and it is opened in my Google platform. What give, what does this mean and how is it corrected?

    I can't post this email because of the attached Warning attached.
