Dear team,
I have been using forms for months, and today I have got this new error message:
'This form can't be distributed as it is asking for personal or sensitive information. Contact your admin for assistance.'
I have read in other threads it happened before to other users.
Could you please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thank you

We use MS Forms for everything from COVID temp scan at the door to manufacturing parts tracking! I've got about 140 "my form is gone" texts right now... Where are we on getting this resolved?! Is there any action on the admin/user side that can help restore the forms?

@Anne_Seyer Same for us. :(

@David_Elsner seems like the problem is getting fixed... at least our forms are up and running again without us having to change anything....

@joshkelly60 Tried that and still no luck, horrible timing as well as I have just moved all IT Forms to Paperless MS Forms and now some of them aren't working! I am going to raise a direct case with MS.

@JamianP Rubbish isn't it... we have done the same over the last year and moving everything to the cloud... trouble with tech (I'm the IT guy at my company) :(
Just had a phone call about it and they did recommend to change or update the phishing policy as a few people have reported the same issue. They suggested to make a new phishing policy/ turn off existing ones (not the greatest fix, might just need to hold on until it fixes itself but its below for you):
As discuss this are the steps how to disable the phishing settings.
In the Security & Compliance Center, go to Threat management > Policy > ATP anti-phishing.
On the Anti-phishing page, click Create.
The Create a new anti-phishing policy wizard opens. On the Name your policy page, configure the following settings:
Name: Enter a unique, descriptive name for the policy.
Description: Enter an optional description for the policy.
When you're finished, click Next.
On the Applied to page that appears, identify the internal recipients that the policy applies to.

SOLVED. As admin, log into office365. select "Admin Center" --> "Health" --> "Message Center". Look for a message with the subject: Microsoft Forms Phishing Notification
Within this message, there are links to the forms, where you can click "Unblock":

At my school, a teacher received this message when she was taking a course questionnaire. She didn't have any personal questions, just questions about the contents of the discipline. Since then, she has not been able to take questionnaires, because the same alert always appears. The IT administrator received the alert, but could not prevent it from repeating itself. My colleague can't figure out what she's doing wrong! Microsoft, what policy is this?! If this continues, we'll have to stop using Forms!
