Forms crashes when trying to collect answers
There seems to be an issue where the webapp crashes in the collect answers part. Specifically when the invitation submit form is displayed (see screenshot). The app just hangs.
Seems to happen in various browsers.

You can get a link by using the form ID. This can be found in the url of the edit page of your form. Everything after id= is your form ID. Then simply put ID after this in your browser:

I am in the UK. We are Office 365 corporate customers and are facing this exact issue as well. Multiple (presuming all) staff. Was OK yesterday.

For me as well! any solution yet?
- dwhyte0432Copper ContributorNot ideal but if you need the link urgently I found it doesn't freeze on mobile browsers (tested with Chrome on Android).

I have the same problem... seems something to be inside the Outlook message field. The browser crashes and using a lot of memory (see pictures). After stopping the background process you can see that it's trying to add the last number of the year in an infinite loop:
Error in Firefox:
When you hit stop you can see the problem:
It is entering the '2' infinite...
The problem persist in different browsers and tried different computers. - techIT1245Copper ContributorLast Update from Microsoft:

The issue should have resolved now as they reverted some changes (hadn't had time to check, it's the middle of the night 🙂 ) - DalekfishCopper ContributorThe same problem here
