Can you add a comments box to forms?

I want to add a comments box to questions on MS forms (aka comments on an excel spreadsheet), to provide further explanation of a question?

 

i.e. do you use personal data in your role?

the comments would be - 

('by Personal Data we mean: Children’s Personal Data, IP Address, Name, E-mail address, Learner No,  Address or Post Code, NHS No, Special category data)

 

I know i can use the subtitle bits but i want them there to r

    Matt PICKLES no unfortunately you can't add a comments box to a form. There are lots of different uservoice requests for this at https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box?query=comments%20box

      This seems like a very basic feature for surveys. Why isn't it available on Forms. The branching feature is not even a band aid, more liking putting a kitchen towel on your severed arm.

      It is really difficult to comprehend why Forms does not include such a critical feature.

       

      Simple example:

      What features would you like to see?

      Feature A

      Feature B

      Open Text Box

       

      Looking forward to positive news.
