Creating a Form from a List
The Forms link at the top of a Microsoft List is awesome -- it lets me create a Form for the current list. I can use all of the great features of Forms to make the list be exactly what I want.
What's really disappointing, though, is that there's no way (at least that I can find) to connect my beautiful form to the New button for the list.
In the Forms section of the List settings, I can opt for the default form, a Power App form, or an Info Path form. It would be fantastic if I could choose the form that I just created -- FROM THE LIST -- to the list.
It seems like an obvious and confusing disconnect. The very presence of a link to Forms suggests that this is the way to customize an intake form for the list. But alas, no.
I assume I'm not the first person to fall into this pit! Is it on the roadmap?

Yeah, you're definitely not the only one who's run into this! It is super confusing the Forms integration feels like it should replace the default “New” form, but sadly it doesn’t. As far as I know, there’s no way to set a Microsoft Form as the default intake form for a List. Kinda hoping Microsoft adds this down the line, but haven’t seen anything official on the roadmap yet.
Yes you are correct, may be referring to the following for more extended sharing:
