How can I save a Microsoft Form response with questions?
I was searching the internet trying to find a way to link-to or output a form response, in its totality, with questions and answers both... and was very disappointed to find that this is not possible. I agree that this is a basic function that seems like it should be a default option. In Sharepoint, every single item seems to be able to be individually linked to... the fact that I cannot link to an individual form response makes it so that running an approval flow on a form requires mocking up the entirety of the form in the email... it is inelegant to say the least and it should be built in.
I'm less surprised at the lack of individual response links, given that Forms is Excel-backed; all the Forms Response sheet does is read through rows. An item is fundamentally different, as it's a unique web object and it's part of a true database where Excel is not a database. If Forms were backed by a List, we'd be having a different conversation.
