SUPER INEFFECTIVE FORM
First thing is when create the form there's no instruction or warning about the limit of the form, besides, when exceed the limit of the form still allow to create more option??????????
Second things is, when delete the answer/option from a drop down list, if delete from the top auto jump down to the bottom? Super ineffective and time consuming while making the form should be the fastest thing to do in the office.
The last, even though exceeding the limit, there's no option like: delete in batch, or split the the answer into new question -> have to delete 1 by 1??
Have went through a lot of discussion post, the problem is already 2 years old but nothing improved. Please listen to the customer and improve.

Duc1201 the Microsoft page giving the question, response, character and other limits is here.
Forms is a very useful app but is a simple one, so it's missing many of the features you get with Google Forms, Jotform or Zoho Forms. The place to submit requests for new features and for people to vote on them is on the official Microsoft Feedback Portal. But my experience over the last few years is that Microsoft stick to their own agenda and even heavily voted requests can stick around with no action for a long time.

Intranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)I understand your frustration with some limitations and inefficiencies in Microsoft Forms. While Microsoft Forms is a useful tool for creating surveys and forms, it may have certain limitations and user experience issues that can be frustrating. Here are some insights into your concerns:
- Form Limitations: Microsoft Forms does have some limitations on the number of questions, responses, and options you can have in a form. These limitations can be frustrating, especially if you need to create a large and complex form. It is essential to be aware of these limitations before you start creating your form to avoid running into issues later. Unfortunately, as of my last knowledge update, there might not have been significant changes to these limitations.
- User Interface: The user interface of Microsoft Forms may not always be as intuitive or efficient as desired. Features like the behavior when deleting options from a drop-down list can impact the user experience. It is essential to provide feedback to Microsoft through official channels if you believe certain aspects of the interface can be improved.
- Batch Actions: As of my last update, Microsoft Forms did not offer batch actions for deleting questions or options in a form. Users had to delete them one by one. This can be time-consuming, especially for large forms. It is possible that Microsoft may consider adding more efficient bulk editing options in future updates.
To address these concerns and suggest improvements, consider submitting feedback directly to Microsoft. You can do this by opening Microsoft Forms, clicking on the "..." (More options) button, and selecting "Feedback." Microsoft values user feedback and uses it to prioritize and make improvements to their products.
Additionally, Microsoft often releases updates and new features for its products, so it is possible that some of these issues may have been addressed in more recent versions of Microsoft Forms. I recommend checking for any updates or improvements in the latest version of Microsoft Forms available at the time of your inquiry. The text was created with the help of AI.
