Questions missing when I preview form

A few of my questions are missing when I preview the form. While I am in developing mode, they show up fine. Any ideas?

Hi Oescoba2 

 

Are the missing question/s a part of branching from earlier questions? If they are, the branching set up may need to be looked at as the question/s may be skipped over if branching is out of order.

 

Cheers

Damien

Thank you for your reply. They are not branching from earlier. They are just simple new questions. I can see the entire form when I’m working on it, but then I can’t when on preview form nor when my students log in to take the quiz. A symbol is showing on my form. Not sure what does mean. Please see the attachment.

    No clue why this works but I have just had the same problem and fixed it by deleting (in developer view) the LAST question you see on the preview and then adding it back into the form at the same place. I can now see all of the questions!

      Deleting the last question worked because it had a branching attached to it

        The questions are missing because of branching. To fix it, select any question or at the right side of the section click (...) and choose "Add branching". On each question or at end of each section you should see Go to "Next".
        If you see any other "section" or "End of the form" in Go to field, all questions between the selection will be skipped in the preview(user View). Hope it helps someone who is still looking for a solution.

      Thanks for your tip.

      Seems like this is working for everyone but me!

      My form is cut off at the end of the 5th section. Have tried deleting the question, previewing, and then re-entering the question, and previewing.

      Still not showing.

      When someone attempts to take the quiz, it shows the submit button, but also shows that you are only at 5 of 9 sections.

      Any help would be appreciated.

        It seems as though it's related to "required" feature. I had 8 questions but only 5 were showing. No branching. Deleting and adding didn't help. But I noticed that when I selected "required" that the question had asterisk on the developer side and wouldn't show on the preview side. When I took this off, it solved my problem. Might be buggy.

      I am having the same issue. I've tried all the recommendations on this thread, but none seem to work. I have 11 Questions in my questionnaire but when I preview or send it out, it only shows the first 2 questions.

        Is microsoft doing something about this issue? I need to create a survey of 6 questions and I can only see 3 in the preview. If you don't check the preview and send it automatically you can look incompetent, sending an incomplete survey. This needs to be fixed asap.
