Google Scripts - Can't Find Destination Sheet After Form Creation - google-apps-script

Question

My script creates a Google Form programmatically and sets the destination to the current Spreadsheet:
var sheetId = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var form = FormApp.create(acctName).setTitle(acctName).setDestination(FormApp.DestinationType.SPREADSHEET, sheetId);
// several form items added here
Next, I'd like to rename the destination Sheet and make a few formatting edits. When I do, however, the sheet doesn't seem to exist. For example, getSheets() does not contain the new Sheet! (And yes, ideally I'd like to open the sheet by ID; see function below which also doesn't work.)
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.openById(form.getDestinationId()).getSheets();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheets[0]);
The above code opens what I would consider index 1, not index 0, because the sheet isn't indexed. I even tried creating a few second delay (hoping that it was just a matter of time to allow the sync to happen between the client and server) but without any success.
I have also tried something like the following, as suggested elsewhere here on Stack Overflow, but the destination Sheet doesn't come up in getSheets() even when called through a separate function:
function getFormDestinationSheetId(form) {
var destinationId = form.getDestinationId();
if(destinationId) {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(destinationId);
spreadsheet.getSheets().forEach(
function(sheet) {
var sheetFormUrl = sheet.getFormUrl();
if(sheetFormUrl) {
var sheetForm = FormApp.openByUrl(sheetFormUrl);
if(sheetForm.getId() == form.getId()) {
return sheet.getSheetId();
}
}
}
);
}
return null;
}
I haven't been able to find anyone have a similar problem on the webs. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to Stack!
I assume your script is bound to a sheet? Depending on how you're calling the script you may not see the new sheets because of browser caching.
function myFunction() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheetId = sheet.getId();
var form = FormApp.create('acctName').setTitle('acctName').setDestination(FormApp.DestinationType.SPREADSHEET, sheetId);
var ssSheets = sheet.getSheets();
var respSheet = ssSheets[0]
respSheet.getRange('A1').setBackground('RED');
respSheet.getRange('C1').setFormula('=COUNTA($C$2:$C)');
respSheet.setColumnWidth(2, 100);
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
