Are there any plans to have conditional sections in MS Forms? It would allow you to put a condition on a question that based on the answer the next set of questions would change. This would be a very powerful feature.
Thanks,

Yes, that is what I am looking for but can't seem to find how to do it. The post refers to a demo but there is not a link to it

Thanks, I think I found it. I didn't realize the gif attached to the post was animated.

SolutionWhen you have made a question. You can click on the three dots in the upper right corner. There you have the option Branching.

I did get it working but it would be nice if when branching past questions that it would just skip them and not show them at all. for example if I have a 5 questions and depending on the answer to question 1 you either go to question 2 or question 5, it would be nice if it just didn't show questions 2,3,4 if you select the option that takes you to question 5. There almost needs a way to add sections of the form that you can decide to branch to depending on answers.
Thanks for your help. i will continue to play with this feature

Sorry, you are correct. Not sure what I did yesterday, but I think I have it working now. Thanks for the quick response

My form and branching doesn't work. I can do the branching to 2 questions, however, I have 5 choices. Cannot fix in any way.
Any ideas?

It looks like a bug, could you provide more detail?

I have a similar question:
My first question starts the branching. The first questions allows multiple answers, in this case 2 options but you can answer with both.
The first question is:
Do you have
A: Home jersey
B: AWAY jersey
From A it branches to ask several more questions specifically related to Home Jerseys
From B it branches to ask several more questions specifically related to AWAY jerseys.
If there is no answer for options A and/or B, I'd like to be able to set the answer for the branching question to the option MISSING, without the respondent having to actually go to the branched questions.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

Is there a possible if you can add a condition where if I select an option, a text box appears asking for remarks in Text.

@yuvraj1007 You can't have a text box appear on screen but you can use branching for this, so if a specific option is selected it branches to a text question for comments. If it's just that 1 option then all the other options would branch to "Next". Or you could have several questions each branching to a text question.

@yuvraj1007 there is no other way to do this in Forms. Another solution would be to not use Forms at all but build a form in Power Apps (if your users are all internal). That would allow you to conditionally display a text box on screen.

Check out the article "Microsoft Forms Branching Guide" which discusses the branching capabilities of Microsoft Forms and offers alternative solutions for more complex form setups.
