Feature Request: Sort Forms (by Name, Date...)
I am a professor and use Microsoft forms in my course. I have them organized by course into a collection, and each are named by what lecture they appear in, but I CANNOT organize these by name or date modified/created which is a HUGE pain! This is such basic functionality, Google Forms has this capability, but for FERPA reasons I can only use Microsoft Forms. Please incorporate this into the Microsoft Forms library.

Excel Does Not Sync Until Opened
I created a form linked to an Excel spreadsheet in SharePoint as well as a Power Automate approval flow triggered on submission. In addition to sending out confirmation/approval emails, the flow also updates the associated Excel spreadsheet with the approval/denial. The flow was working fine until last week but since then has failed 2 consecutive times.The failures appear to be related to the flow unable to find the automatically generated submission ID in the Excel spreadsheet. When I open the linked spreadsheet, the submission is not immediately present at first but the file does sync at that point and the entry appears. When re-triggered after the sync, the flow completes successfully. Not sure if it is related, but MS form/linked spreadsheets have been updated by Microsoft recently and I was prompted to go through an update process for synced Excel spreadsheets. I completed the update with this specific form last week after the flow failed for the first time. TLDR - my form only syncs with the spreadsheet once opened. Any ideas how to get MS Forms to update the spreadsheet in real-time as opposed to when it is opened?
Informations to confirm
Hi all, I would like to create a form with existing informations in our ITSM to check if users really have the computer we registered. The form will display computer name list (1 at least or more if possible) and for each computer the user must check Y/N bullet point to confirm what computer he has or not. Is it possible with MS Forms ? Any example screenshot to share ? If not possible what will be your choice to automate data processing (no mailing !) Thank you for your help.
MS Forms Mandatory and Branching Issues
Hello, our group is using MS Forms for internal reporting. We started this process about 3 months ago. We have a team of over 200 individuals who use this weekly. Our form has 60-70 questions the majority of the questions are mandatory, and there is quite a bit of branching because we have separate focus areas. Currently, we have over 1,000 responses in our repository. In the last couple of weeks, we have had 3-4 different individuals experiencing the same issue where they have answered a mandatory question, but the MS Forms will not let them proceed even though they provided the required response. They do not get stopped at the same question, but the question they get stopped on is a mandatory response question. The only workaround we have found that works is to have them clear the form and then remove their save link to the MS Form and re-access the form via the original link that was sent out. We understand this isn’t the original intention for this tool, but we are trying to use it as a workaround solution until next year. My question is this, is there a known issue with MS Forms regarding mandatory and/or branching questions? Would it help to remove the mandatory and or the branching to stop this from occurring?Room Configurator hardware list using Forms & Excel
I am looking to create a questionnaire in Forms that asks some set questions that based on the answers would equal products and prices from an excel document. I would like to find out from all you clever people if ‘A’ its possible using just Excel & Forms and ‘B’ if it is, some guidance on how I may go about creating it. Example; What size is your meeting room? MS Forms response - 5m x 3m How many seats around your table? MS Forms response - 10 Do you want video conferencing? MS Forms response - Yes Do you connect via a laptop? MS Forms response - yes Based on the above would then look at a spreadsheet and see that the room size equalled 15m2 would then list a 55” TV with a ‘Micro-tech’ Camera cables to connect a laptop at the table and a cost breakdown of each item based on an equipment list in an excel spreadsheet. Wanting to keep the setup as simple as possible so anyone in the team could pick, so any advice would be most grateful
