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.
Unfortunately I hit this issue just now. Created a complicated form and got this message. Reviewed the form containing a few questions with the word "Password". Even when I removed all the "Password" questions, I still got the message. So I started deleting one question at a time, navigating out of the form and back in after each question, but it did not work. Finally when I deleted the last question "Employee name" the message disappeared. I started adding the questions back in and as soon as I added the one with "Password" the message appeared again.
I renamed Password to PW, but still message appeared. Deleting the question didn't work. There are clearly issues with this functionality.
1) Don't understand why I can't use Password in the question...essentially the question is asking if the user is looking to have their password reset and will ask them to call IT support. If not password, are there some safe words we can use?
2) Even when I delete the "Password" question, the form does not seem to reset.
3) I had about 30 questions in the form, with sections. Only when I had deleted everything did it reset.
This along with the # of questions limit, makes me want to recommend a different solution to my client.
Having tried to get the form working, I started deleting forms almost randomly. Sometimes the form reset other times it did not. There doesn't seem to a "consistent" fix.
UPDATE: There seems to be a delay of a few minutes before "Forms" recognises that the text has been updated and resets. I came out of my form and went back in about 5 minutes later and the message is gone.
Some issues I think MS need to look at.
