Hi Brian,
If you add more than 6 options, the choice question will turn into dropdown control automatically.
Please note that the dropdown control only supports single choice.
New update [July, 2018]
We have enabled a settings in choice question, so you could manage "dropdown" by yourselves.

I absolutely agree. I also have a large list to manage for courses, and automatically renders Forms useless for this use case. Would like to see it added ASAP. Thank you

Hi Has there been any movement on adding a scrolling option to the drop down list? I have a requirement for about 100 options. This makes the form not very user friendly.

I haven't used this for a while, but the last time I checked it still has not been updated. I know google forms it allows you, but my school uses office 365 which limits what I enjoy using. I also wish they would allow you to have the excel spreadsheet accessible and update as information is entered on forms. But now, you have multiple steps to get it and share it.

Hi Brian Dixon and Andrew Jennings ,
I found out how to add a long list as dropdown menu. I added 300+ names as dropdown list in seconds. I hope this helps.
- Choose dropdown as question type on Microsoft Forms
- List all answers you would like to add as dropdown on an excel sheet
- On excel sheet, select all and copy (CTRL+C)
- Paste (CTRL+V) them to first answer option space on Microsoft Forms
Best,
Onur
