You can adjust the notification settings in MS Forms to include all of the answers submitted by a responder in the email notification. By following these steps:
1. Open the form you want to edit and click "Responses" tab.
2. Click "3 dot icon" at the top-right corner of the screen and select "Settings".
3. In the "Settings" window, scroll down to "Responses" section and turn on the toggle switch for "Email notification to owners".
4. Click "Edit" button next to "Email notification to owners".
5. In the "Edit notification email" window, click "Add dynamic content" (the "fx" icon) at the top of the window.
6. Select the "Answers" option from the drop-down list.
7. In the "Dynamic content" pane on the right side of the window, you can select and drag any answer field you want to include in the email notification.
Make sure to include the answer field for the "Details" question, so that it is included in the email notification.
8. Customize the email message to your preference, and click on "Save" to save the changes.
Now, whenever someone completes the form, you will receive an email notification that includes all the answers they provided, including the details field.
I hope I helped you!

Tammyj79 I suspect that SaadMarkou was referring to the old Forms Pro (now Customer Voice). The method he describes is not in standard Microsoft Forms. We never use the notifications from Forms but always build a flow in Power Automate which allows us to add our company logo and completely tailor the email.
