This form can't be distributed as it is asking for personal or sensitive information
Ive had this appear out of the blue and the Form has been live for the last 2 months?
There is no information to show what information I have created that is personal or sensitive.
This is for a registration form I have created for my old Collegian.
Can someone help here? I cant access any data.
- I think Microsoft broke something. They need to fix it asap.

NZLaSalleSame issue here. Kind of makes it useless to me. I'm not asking for bank accounts or social security numbers, I just want a person to enter their name and an email address that I can use to later contact them. But I guess that's too much... Even just asking for a name triggers this.
So far I haven't found if or where I can adjust the filters, etc. - pontoonatscrmCopper Contributor
- Joshua SchmidtCopper ContributorWe were getting a form ready to deploy today when this popped up. Same thing, any text field and it throws the error you don't even have to modify the question text.

NZLaSalle I am having the same issue, all my forms I have been using for months are no longer working. I am telling my not for profit to go to Survey Monkey. I too can't access any data or get sign ups for classes
- NZLaSalleBrass ContributorI’m hoping to hear back from Microsoft on this as I can’t do anything and I am losing time for registrations.
Microsoft please help!- Anqi DuMicrosoftHi, sorry for the inconvenience as we have identified a bug that has triggered unexpected false positive alarm last week. I assume you were using your personal Microsoft consumer account to use Microsoft Forms as this bug only impacted consumer accounts. This bug now has been fixed and you should be able to update the title of any text question to mitigate this problem (i.e. delete one word and add it back for any text question title). Please let us know if you still encounter this problem. Again apologize for your inconvenience.

NZLaSalle Same, I have a business account and a form that I have had created for at least 2 weeks now gives me an error message. I have it posted live on a website so people can fill out. All I have asked for is name, and City, State.
Error message I see from my end when I edit: "This form can't be distributed as it is asking for personal or sensitive information. Contact your admin for assistance."
Error message user sees from their end: This form can't be submitted as it is asking for personal or sensitive information.
- brantmwCopper ContributorSame problem, changed one title and got the error message. Now it will not go away despite changing the title back.

I am experiencing the same issue today on a form that I was about to release. This is frustrating to say the least and needs to be fixed asap.

Having that problem too; seems to only be an issue if you add text fields.
- KRob527Copper ContributorI am having the same problem with a text question in my form.
- Yao KeMicrosoftThe issue should be resolved now, sorry for the inconvenience
