Feature Request – Read-only and Locked Fields for Pre-filled Microsoft Forms
Microsoft Forms has recently introduced support for pre-filled responses, which is a very valuable addition. However, the lack of read-only fields significantly limits its usability in real-world and enterprise application scenarios. In many workflows, especially those involving bots, kiosks, or guided user interactions, some fields must be pre-populated with system-generated data such as user identity, email, or contextual information. These fields need to remain visible to the user for transparency, but must not be editable in order to guarantee data integrity and prevent tampering. Currently, there is no reliable way to enforce this behavior. Even when using pre-filled URLs, users can still modify the values before submission. This creates a risk of data inconsistency and makes it difficult to maintain a secure and synchronized interaction between the client and backend systems. This is not just a UX limitation, but also a data integrity issue in integrated workflows. As a result, developers are forced to implement server-side validation and ignore user-provided values for critical fields, which defeats the purpose of pre-filling them in the first place. This forces developers to rely entirely on server-side validation, reducing the effectiveness of pre-filled data and introducing unnecessary complexity. While Power Apps can address this limitation, it is often too complex and heavy for simple scenarios where Microsoft Forms would otherwise be perfectly adequate. Suggested improvement: - Allow form fields to be marked as read-only or locked - Optionally support hidden or system fields - Allow pre-filled values to be protected against tampering - Preserve compatibility with pre-filled URLs This feature would enable Microsoft Forms to be used in secure, system-driven workflows without requiring migration to more complex platforms.

Limited to 200 submissions
The helpdesk has confirmed that I have an m365 family subscription. This would allow me to receive 1000 responses in Forms. However, when I log in to Forms with my details, only 200 answers are accepted. In addition, I get a "buy button" on the screen. In other words, Forms "thinks" that I have a free plan. Who can solve this for me?200 answers instead of 1000

Bonjour, J'ai réalisé 3 formulaires Forms sur Microsoft Forms d'un compte personnel Outlook. Les formulaires ont été distribués auprès de mes proches pendant 1 mois et demi (inscriptions pour un évènement). Soudainement, mon compte Microsoft a été bloqué et les formulaires ne sont plus accessibles depuis le lien de partage. J'ai récupéré mon compte Microsoft en changeant le mot de passe. Les formulaires sont toujours sur l'application mais je n'ai plus aucunes statistiques et ai perdu toutes les données. De plus les liens de partage ne sont toujours pas fonctionnels et les formulaires impossibles à copier. Comment puis-je récupérer les réponses et relancer le lien pour que mes proches puissent continuer d'y répondre ? J'ai demandé à l'assistance technique qui m'a redirigé ici. Bien à vous.
Generating an email with Power Automate using data from MS Forms
I'm trying to generate an email based on responses to a Microsoft Form. To do that, we've been using Power Automate. But I don't know coding, so I'm struggling with the "if this, then do this or if this then do this." I'm trying to add content based on the response to a form question. This is what I have & Power Automate doesn't like it. If possible, I want the No response to result in a blank. if(equals(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r4dc7982d2d21447595928fe605d196a9'],'Yes','SNAP',' ') It also doesn't like this: if(equals(@{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rfa090ef4e8d14bf187d32d6ee29bce37']},Yes),'What is needed to complete the benefit request? @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r6671aa148c974fbfb399bdf3c334f4a4']}',' ')
Microsft Forms Permissions
Hello, We created a form for people to RSVP for an event. We shared the link with our invitees. Some individuals when they follow the link will see other peoples answers displayed in the question fields instead of the prompts we created. Furthermore, one individual opened Forms on their computer and saw that they had editing permissions to our form. How could this have happened and is there a way to remove people from what appears to be an editing permission? Thanks!
Insights from Copilot have stopped working for us
We're all licensed (verified) with M365 Copilot, and for about the last week, one of our workhorse intake forms has stopped working with regards to the "Insights from Copilot" feature. When we attempt to refresh the insights, it presents the message, "Your form has XX responses. Copilot is analyzing the data to provide insights.", then spins for about 30 seconds, and then presents the error, "The insights haven't been generated successfully. Please try again." We're syncing responses to an Excel workbook, and that seems fine, but after about a week these "insights" just started failing in this fashion. We've done basic troubleshooting like trying InPrivate browsing, cache clearing, and since we are only at about 100 responses for this particular small form we're not hitting any limits. Regardless, it's wedged stuck in this state. I reported it via the M365 Admin portal and received the usual "No issues found" reply. 🙄 Anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone actually use this feature? 😜
