Save MS Form with unique name to reuse
- Apr 03, 2025
That isn't how forms works; you can't go back into it and add information later. Forms is designed as a simple one-pass form responder, not as a tool for 2-way communications. Once the form is submitted, if the "allow users to save their response" or edit their response checkboxes have been checked then the responder can do that. But you can't save that form response as a form with a unique name. All the responses to the form are saved behind that one form.
What you could do (and we always do it at my company) is to build a flow in Power Automate to get each response as it is received, send an email confirmation back to the responder and save the form contents to a SharePoint list. This of course then means you can go in and add more info later.Rob
