Questions missing when I preview form

A few of my questions are missing when I preview the form. While I am in developing mode, they show up fine. Any ideas?

    Amazingly, this bug is still prevalent in 2024, coming up to 6 years after this was posted.

    The deletion of the last question, previewing, and re-adding fixed the form for a user.

    Cheers!

    For the last question you see in the preview, edit it in the developer mode and make sure conditional branching is set to Next, not End of the form.

    Billy Ivey I've got a form will 11 questions (not branched) but on preview and completion it only allows the completion of 6 questions. Questions 5+ are in a separate section but no idea why the questions don't appear from 7 onwards? I've tried deleting questions and re-adding; changing required status and removing - none of these make a difference. I've had this issue for a number of months and very disappointed that as a Microsoft software service, such a simple function really shouldn't be this difficult.

    After the 1st question add a new question with branching and with a required answer. Now the Form worked for others.

  • Maybe a solution for others also... we customized the theme to the color 'white'. Because of the font being white by default for all buttons..... you don't see them anymore. *DOING*

    Billy Ivey  Exactly the same is just happening to me: '"A few of my questions are missing when I preview the form. While I am in developing mode, they show up fine. Any ideas?"

      Hi Oescoba2 

       

      Are the missing question/s a part of branching from earlier questions? If they are, the branching set up may need to be looked at as the question/s may be skipped over if branching is out of order.

       

      Cheers

    Hi Billy What type of questions are they? Can you provide some screen shot examples so we can see? Thanks Damien

      I'm having the very same issue.  Attached are two screenshots - edit screen and preview screen. 

       

      I've attempted to login and logout of Microsoft Form, the Office 365 account affiliated with Forms. Still nothing seems to work.  Also, I thought that maybe since the edits to the forms questions, maybe I should delete the responses.  That didn't work.
