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.

Regards,

Zhongzhong

Zhongzhong_Li , would it be possible to populate the dropdown box from a list on the linked spreadsheet?

Also, would it be possible to create the form directly from an existing spreadsheet that contains drop down box options?

Thanks

Megan

I found the answer to the above, copy all the cells from the spreadsheet and put them in option 1 and microsoft forms creates the dropdown. Now I would like to know if microsoft forms supports the use of dependent dropdowns? So is it possible for the dropdown box options change in response to one of the questions above?

MeganK001 The dropdown options can't change in response to a previously answered question.

MeganK001 yes, through branching. You can then use the same copy/paste action for the dependent dropdowns.
