How can we constraint user to fill Daily Microsoft forms upto 1AM to 10PM only?
I want to create a survey through Microsoft form, but I want this to fill during a specific time period only. And additionally only want to allow user to fill future date only. Example form : https://forms.office.com/r/PYCJbSmywK Requirements: - This link should be fillable between 1AM to 10PM daily? - User should not able to select Historic date in above form. I have also "Power Automate" available with me, is there any way through I can achieve above requirement? Please help me with the above requirement. Regards, Ghanshyam

Ghanshyam_Savaliya you can't do this with Microsoft Forms as a) there is no way to have a daily 1am to 10pm window for the form to be completed in, and b) there is no functionality to only permit a date in the future (a uservoice request for that is https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/40890958-prevent-selection-of-dates-in-the-past-in-the-dat).
Additionally there is nothing that will help you here with Power Automate as it can only work on the submitted form. I suppose if you were saving the results in a SharePoint list you could send an email back to the user if they submitted the form outside the window or entered a past date and ask them to re-submit the form and not save it to the list. But that's a bit of a clunky workaround.
To achieve what you want would need a Power Apps form but that will only work if all the users are in your organisation.
