ruiestves Olga Melo having hundreds of items in a dropdown list is a terrible experience for the user. You would be better to use Power Apps where you can have cascading dropdowns or have a search box to filter the list based on the letters you type. It's a much better user experience.

- We can embebed Power Apps in a Form 365?
ruiestves No, you create the form in Power Apps and then either give your users the weblink to it or embed it in a SharePoint page with the Power Apps web part.

But to publish (to general public) by an URL is not free?
- Thank you RobElliott
I se is just possible a list of 250 itens in a dropdown menu. I know is nos a confortable experience for the user, but is a real list of 308 Districts in my country, where the user must choice one.
thank you very much for your sugestions. RobElliott , the downside to Powerapps is that you can't make it public!
Olga Melo actually you can but you need to use Power Apps portals and that comes at a price: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/portals
