Had a rough afternoon entering a list of locations into our dropdown list (1 at a time, mind you). Somewhere around item # 70 I had the unpleasant experience of an alert popping up to inform me that I hit the limit.
Is there any chance the limit of dropdown items can be increased to 100?
And also, now that I think about it, how about the option to copy and paste a list of items into the dropdown field instead of being forced to enter them 1 at a time?

Yes, that would be a good feature....
I just noticed that I could surpass the initial limit I thought was there if each item was a few characters long. However, in my case our location names can be up to a length of 100 characters and the list could get as long as 100 locations.
For anyone @Microsoft, any thoughts on whether or not this will be addressed?

Hi Josette,
Thanks for using Microsoft Forms.
For each question, except question title, all the other infomation (e.g. question settings, options) share a space, around 4KB, i remeber.
I'll provide the feedback for the engineering team.

totally agree with both of these. We have 112 locations, and this makes FORMS useless for us because we almost always need the respondent to say which location they are from. Also have to paste them in one by one is silly.

@Zhongzhong Li Related to this thread: I have a long list of full names I want to load as a dropdown list.... in Google forms, a simple copy paste does exactely that. In MS Forms - it copies the whole list into option 1 :(
Any way to make it right?

@Zhongzhong Li Hi, Could you please increase the drop down list to 500 minimum, and also please make it as drop down in mobile as well.
