Forms
I was looking and all I found were similar questions from as far back as 2019, so assuming no solution has been made, yet?
Is any way to get a Form to read/populate dynamic choices for a question from an external source say a SharePoint online list?
This would make it easier to manage the list without having to update the form each time new options were added.
For example, if I had a form with a question asking for a person to assign that day to that task and the list of people available to pick from changes daily (but is scheduled a month in advance with potential last minute tweaks), I would rather pull a list from a common external source than have to update the form each day or any time a person switches days.

Microsoft Forms has never been able to - and still can't - dynamically access data from an external source. I don't see that changing any time soon. So the only alternative is to build a form with Power Apps connected to your SharePoint list.
