Microsoft Form

I have a query regarding Microsoft Form:
For an example: I'm running a school, where 500+ students are enrolled.
To collect some details, we request each & every student to fill the MS Form. 
My concern in MS Form: 

  • There is a branching field in MS Form, if the student is new joined, then he/she has to fill the entire form manually. If the student is an existing student, then he/she has to enter the unique ID from the drop-down field, and the rest fields will automatically pop-up or field with the responses. 
  • Once the student confirms that he/she is an existing student option, then they will get an option with the list of drop-down where they have to select their unique ID, and the moment they select the unique ID the remaining fields should automatically capture/display or pop-up the basic details which has been submitted earlier when they were the new joined. 

I would like to know will it be possible to achieve the above via any means of source, such as React, Python, SPFx, web developing, Power-Automate, Power App or anything. 

Thank you!

    Hari2307​ No this is not possible with Microsoft Forms. You can't pop-up or display the earlier details because Forms cannot connect to anything to be able to pre-populate data from a datasource. 

    However, achieving this could be done with SharePoint lists and a Power Apps front end.
