Drop down box and lists
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 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,

OnurCK Thank you very much, this saved me a lot of time
- Perfect it word!!!! thanks so much!
OnurCK The Excel copy and paste worked for me - that just saved me so much time, thanks so much! I didn't even try that on my own because it just didn't seem like it would work, but it did! THANKS!
OnurCK but still Microsoft has not provided a solution nor to the lack (bad design is made of lacks) of multiple selection of options in drop-down lists nor the connection to dynamic content such as sharepoint lists or excell files in one drive as data sources of drop-down lists nor even option lists either . It's 2020, any chance to see a commitment in design basic features into their own products from Microsoft? 2020 February and still waiting..
