Forms: Time input question
MicrosoftFeature added to the backlog 5 years ago and still not available..any update? Much needed in any bness context today.
Hey Orlando,
Not sure if you saw this or if it affects you, but there was an announcement this week regarding forms:
Microsoft Forms new App "Polls" in Teams
Microsoft Forms has always focused on providing the best polling experience to our customers. However, according to customer feedback and telemetry, we have determined that many people don't know the "Forms" App provides polling capability in Teams.
To provide a better experience we are delivering a new Teams app specifically for polling capabilities. This new app will be discoverable in Teams meetings/chats as “Polls”.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.microsoft.com_microsoft-2D365_roadmap-3Ffilters-3D-26featureid-3D84567&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=Ev0LU5bZyrGtDFfEe6Jyifp1CjjBVP2sNr4yIh5LyLE&m=g7ROKaT42F_ZOEMYRX4yn9EnMltJugpC2UE_jG0iXho&s=xLVXZ6_rsBPoq8uschJFnkW1s63jQQ7748HzAa_sAZc&e=
When this will happen:
We will begin rolling this out starting in Teams meetings and then moving to Teams chat in mid-October and expect to complete by the end of November.
The original "Forms" app will be retired from Teams meetings in mid-November, and then will be retired from Teams chat in at the end of December. Once retired from meetings/chat the “Forms” app will only be available in the Teams channel tab to provide Survey capabilities.
How this will affect your organization
Once this rollout is complete:
- The new Microsoft Forms App "Polls" will have the same functionality, same service, and there will be no need for data migration.
- For the previous polls that were created in the original App "Forms", these polls will not be lost. Poll owners can still view them in the new App "Polls" portal in Teams OR view it in the Forms web portal page (http://forms.office.com/)
- The original App "Forms" polling capability will be retired in Teams meeting and Teams chat. Original App "Forms" survey capability in Teams channel Tab is not impacted.
What you need to do to prepare
You may want to update your users on the upcoming changes. We will continue to update this post with additional information as we proceed.

unbelievable: 4 years and the control with time is not added..sincerely I don't understand why..it's so stupid.
- Mmm anyone got ideas to why this is so hard to implement? I thought it would come with Forms pro, that indicated that Microsoft atleast developed Forms!
sincerely speaking I think, and suppose you and other, consider that a time control is not a control for a Pro version.

Hi Nakul Madaan and Microsoft teams, it has been 2020 now... and the feature is still missing in Forms. Appreciate if you can please roll this one out.
There are more and more users now, especially your Enterprise customers (like mee!!)
Nakul Madaan Is there any update on including Time feature in Microsoft forms?
Hi varjay
Not yet. The only option I can think of is to use a text question field to get someone to enter it in, or to create a dropdown list of the times in intervals for the 24 hours (e.g. 00:00, 00:30, 01:00, etc).
Cheers

Creating a dropdown for all hours and minutes from 00:00 to 23:59 as a solution is a solution that google forms solves better imo. 😶
Please add this as an option to the "input date" thingy! 😫
Hi Nakul Madaan - I wanted to add another voice to the group requesting time input as a value in Forms.
Like other folks mentioned in this thread, it would be very helpful to use this in conjunction with Flow.
- Any update?
We still waiting for this update.
2 years...Hey any news when or if it will happen.
- Microsoft adds so many functions and new apps that it's almost impossible to manage, but when you need to do something very easy, very simple, and almost always required when doing invites or reporting like a time field, they completely ignore it. My question is, why have anything in Flow not supported in Forms?
- When will this features come to Forms?
- A simple function 2 years later isn't implemented and we're getting 0 responses? Probably never 🙂
- Good morning again,
Please update us on whether this feature will be added in the future. I dont understand why it's taken over a year to get a response... I am also interested in this. Please let us know if this is still a planned feature. Thank you.
