Mircosoft forms email
Hi - I have set up an internal reporting system using microsoft forms - all works well - have built power automate to direct reports to the right teams. The only thing I can't figure out is why each report comes with my email rather than the email of the reporter? I know the answer must be simple as it is forms - but I can't work it out. Any ideas? Thanks Noy
Custom Validation in Forms
Hi, I have a text field in forms, and I was wondering if I could do some kind of custom validation or multiple validations (i.e. 1 AND (2 OR 3)) on that text field. I feel like I have seen custom validation functionality (e.g. RegEx) before but this is not available in my version of Microsoft forms. Suppose it is only available in another version of Forms (i.e. Pro), is it possible to request for this functionality to exist in the normal version? The reason why I cannot use power automate or what not to post validate is because I do not collect E-mails (Not because I don't want to, but because my users simply don't have one or do not maintain one).

Resubmitted response overrides original response instead of making a new entry
Hi, I have a Microsoft Form that allows respondents to edit their submissions after submitting. Last week when someone resubmitted their response, it created a new entry in the Excel sheet which is what I prefer since it triggered a Power Automate flow. However, I ran it again this week and now it seems to override the original response in the Excel sheet. This does not trigger the flow, which is a big issue. Does anyone know why this might be happening/how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
Allow hidden fields
Hi DingkunXie​ Can the product team do the following: Create an option to make a field hidden or read-only Allow URL parameters to populate the hidden or read-only field Currently we can use a workaround to hide a field using branching logic, but the hidden field can't be prepopulated with the URL parameter :( This small change will unlock a huge amount of value in the product! Especially in the age of automation and Copilot. Looking forward to seeing this happen :)
Issues using Quick Import to create a multiple choice quiz
Hi, I'm having issues using the Quick Import option in Forms to create a multiple-choice quiz. It doesn't seem to matter how I format my Word document; when I use the quick import option, it dumps all the questions/ answers into one section. This is the Word doc format I am using. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?Form does not exist
I recently printed some leaflets with the QR code and URL to my forms and had 40+ responses. I had made some minor changes to the form and the outcome of the blue when you scan the form you get an error message that read "the form does now exist".... The thing is ,it does exist. It's not in the deleted bin it's active, it's just upon further exploration I can see the QR code and URL has changed. I have been using the tick box that says make URL shorter...could it be that? Does this change the URL and QR Code every time you press it?
Multiple choice numerical answer question
Let me try to explain what I am trying to do: I would like to have a single question where I have a list of items showcased and the answer I would require is a numerical value that is assigned to the listed item. In the sense that I would like to ask a percentage of a feedstock material that a facility receives and would give 3-4 common options and would like for the people to answer a numerical value corresponding to the showcased predefined answer. I have searched and not found that this is possible with Microsoft forms, even that I think should be relatively simple from the code perspective. Multiple choice answers only accept select the box option and a numerical value is only available in text answers. The not attractive solution I have found is have 5 questions one behind the other that each accepts a numerical value answer, but this is not the most stylistic and clean solution. Is there a way to put it in the form I would like to have this question? Thanks in advance for the time!
