Creating a format restriction for a phone number
Is there a way to set up a format restriction for a Text field for a phone number? For example, 123-456-7890. Thanks in advance!

Hi JR2020610
Microsoft Forms doesn't allow for that type of formatting unfortunately.
I'd suggest using the subtitle to show an example of the desired format to help responders fill it in right.
If you were using Power Automate to capture the results, you could also manipulate the number into a the desired format using an Expression.
Hope that helps with some ideas.
Best wishes
