How to make a copy group form in Microsoft Forms for reusing
Not sure how long this has been in place, but Forms can now be copied that belong to a Group. Under "Group Forms," drill down to a specific team view (you won't see the option while viewing "Recent Group Forms"), and click the three dots--you'll have your copy functionality there.
I had the same issue. Think I may have found the answer! If you click "Share" in the MS team tab with your form, there is a "Share as a Template" option. Follow this URL and select "Duplicate". This duplicates the form and it becomes a form in your personal Form library that you can re-use. Hope that helps
- Lifesaver! Thank you!!
I can duplicate, but what then? I try pasting the link into a new browser tab, it appears. The Duplicate it button appears, but that only then duplicates to the same group you got it from. I want a copy in a different group! Any ideas?

I tested this few days later after my initial contribution to thread and duplicate method is by far the best method for copying a form cross group/personal spaces.As per my experience duplicate button duplicates the respectful form into your personal Forms space (not under a group), regardless of where the original form sits. Then in Forms site/portal, select ... next to the form and click on Move button; then you will be offered to pick from "list of teams that you are part of" and form will be moved there.
- This worked perfectly for me. Thanks Jerod
For some reason this option isn't working for me, I get to all the steps, paste the url and select 'duplicate' - the page refreshes to 'My Forms' and the form hasn't been duplicated! So frustrating. I can't create a flow from Group Forms - I mustn't have the required permissions. Made the mistake of creating the form in the group.
Do you know why the duplicate option isn't working?
If you want the form to remain in the TEAMS group and be shared with others, then this is, unfortunately, no option.
Would like to have the duplicate form option in TEAMS aswell.

I have just succeeded in created copies of an existing Forms survey. Each MS 365 user has an own Forms account. You must access your Forms account where your existing forms are listed. Click the 3 dots on an existing form and select "Copy". A copy is created. Repeat until you have the number of copies you need. If you now access Forms from within the Team where you want to use these forms all of these copies will be listed and you can save them to the Team site. Then, rename etc.
- This is a brilliant solution! Still valid 5 years later. Thanks albert
