Importing Data (a list) into Forms
Can I import a list of names into forms , so that a person filing out a form can select a name from that list ? Any refernce link to assist ?

Scuba19 Hi, this is possible. In your form, select 'Choice' then copy your list from Excel and paste into the first box that appears on the form. It will enter each option separately.

YDynamics - the copy paste function works beautifully with Microsoft Forms, but not with Forms Pro at the moment. Hopefully something that will be added in the future.

Megan_V_Walker It's been a while since you posted. This now kinda works. I ended up with a massive list in option one but then it broke it down into individual options. Then I just needed to delete the option one with it all in.
- Steven_NicholApr 03, 2020Copper ContributorI have a survey set up in forms that I intend to use to contact around 30,000 vulnerable customers during COVID lock down. Currently we're having to cut and paste data from Excel individually into forms for each survey. Is there a way to pull that data automatically so groups set up in teams can just open a form pre populated and complete a survey with the next customer data pulling through once completed ?
