Update MS Froms question via API endpoint?
We have a form created with a drop-down list of employee names and we are looking for a way to automate updating the list of employees in the drop down on the form. It seems there is no way to automate this when a new employee is added to the company. The user must go to form and edit the question response options manually. Is there no way to do this with Power Automate or Python and the requests library? Seems like a very trivial limitation. When editing the form via the website its a PATCH or POST request being sent over HTTP so I would imagine there is a way to accomplish this.
Microsoft Forms does not support automatic updates for drop-down lists. This means you can't directly use Power Automate or Python with the requests library to update the drop-down list automatically. May consider Power App instead:
