Export to Excel - wrong and shortened titles

Hi all,

we want to get rid of other polling tools and recommend Forms for broader usage.

We now had a "Likert" poll that caused the Excel export to be unusable.

The questions were not in the same order as they were in the Form (deleted the Excel from Onedrive and let it recreate did not solve this)

Also some titles were shortened like:

Likert topic: Share your event feedback (e.g. how was the food, the beverages and so on)

Food: Great, Ok, i was hungry

But in the excel export the title of this row was:
Share your event feedback (e.g. how was the food, the beverages and soFormsID4

So it was impossible to see what statement was answered to.

What are the limitations here?

    Anyone can relate / have the same problems?:

    We are looking to replace other polling tools and recommend using Forms for broader usage.

    Recently, we conducted a "Likert" poll, but the Excel export was unusable. The questions were not in the same order as they appeared in the Form. Even after deleting the Excel file from OneDrive and letting it recreate, the issue persisted.

    Additionally, some titles were shortened. For example:

    Likert topic: Share your event feedback (e.g., how was the food, the beverages, etc.)

    Food: Great, Ok, I was hungry

    However, in the Excel export, the title of this row was: Share your event feedback (e.g., how was the food, the beverages, and soFormsID4

    This made it impossible to see which statement was being answered.

    What are the limitations here?
