    Hi Rob,
    Thanks very much for the reply that seems to have worked! 🙂 Is there anyway to edit the display text to the hyperlink or would it have to be the full long links above?

    I've tried to amend the display text to a shorter title but I can't seem to get that to work so guessing hyperlink formatting isn't an option in MS forms?

    Thanks again! 🙂

      pigsinblankets formatting of hyperlinks is not supported in Forms yet but you can vote for it on the official https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/9d3712b1-246b-ed11-a81b-000d3ae32cd0.

        Hi Rob,

         

        Just to confirm, the purpose to paste it into the text editor is to get the HTML source code (or other source code) right? Thank you in advance for your clarification
