This form can't be distributed as it is asking for personal or sensitive information
- Jul 19, 2019I think Microsoft broke something. They need to fix it asap.
Thanks for your reply. We have had a few forms that require to be unblocked, which is quite annoying. The Phone number question, seems to be causing the issue.

Art-ITP Seems I cannot access the form, is that possible you shared me a screenshot in PM when the form is blocked. Also, if you are tenant admin, we also want to learn the experience of this kind of unblocking, is that OK to schedule a meeting with you and our PM team? Thanks

blecluse Sorry for the confusion, can you PM me the vanished forms id (or url) and also the id/url of the one that still live? For all the detection, Forms is just marking but not actually delete any of the content. So please send us the information and we will investigate what happened.

Hi, I'm having a similar kind of issue. I hope someone would be able to help me.
I had almost finished building 2 forms in parallel (2 languages) and had them both open when the page refreshed on one and it took me to my Microsoft Forms home page with these 2 questionnaires completely gone. Vanished. Not in trash, and can't find them anywhere. And I haven't seen any warning at any point. I was able to still save the (shareable) link for one of the 2 forms (but that doesn't allow me to edit) and when I try to open it, I have this warning show up
"This form might not be safe. We recommend you don't provide your personal or sensitive information. The form owner may potentially be trying to collect it."
Which leads me to believe that my issue is connected to the one discussed here. Although as I said, I had no warning, and I have no way to edit either of these forms, and I don't even have a link, so no trace for one of the 2.
I also have no idea what in my forms would have triggered this, especially considering that I have other older versions of the same form still available, and no warning.
So I would like to ask for help to hopefully retrieve my forms, and if this is not a bug, how can I make it so that it's considered "safe", and is there a risk of this happening again at any point?
Thanks a lot!
I do appreciate your work and your help,
Ben
