Forms Governance
Is there any plan to improve Forms governance for administrators and users at large organizations? It feels like several of the back-end underpinnings of Forms are still living in the "consumer product" governance model, versus an "enterprise product" one. Such as: Giving admins more than 30 days to recover an orphaned form from a terminated employee before it's gone. Currently after this time period the best-effort approach seems to be to do an e-discovery hoping to find the results file so at least previous answers and a roadmap for re-creation of the form questions can be provided. Actually https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/8f957a1e-7bbd-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab7d1 users during the Form creation process to make a form group-owned if it's intended for something more than personal use cases. Allowing the https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7516877b-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7ae16276-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab5c3, prompt user when they're approaching the limit, and give users a bulk way to delete old forms/quizzes/polls to get back under the ceiling. Allowing https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6c9cc40a-7bbd-ed11-83ff-002248273995. Improving the types of survey questions and integration into Powerpoint to come closer to the capabilities of 3rd party products like Slido. Many of these capabilities/features/management tools have been being asked for for years. Quite frankly, we administrators are much more interested in these kinds of nuts and bolts core functions than integrating animated backgrounds/sounds and other window-dressing bells and whistles. Would love to hear others' perspectives and hopefully this will catch the eye of someone with the product group. Thanks!

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.
Power Automate not pulling all form answers
I have a flow that triggers fine using the "When a new response is submitted" but the "Get response details" is only returning a few of the answers submitted. I can see the full submission the the back end of forms but Power Automate is not pulling a lot of the submitted answers. It has worked fine for 50 times, the automation is long and complex so if possible id like to stay away from deleting and restoring the trigger and get response details...
Disabling Copilot in Forms not possible
Hi everyone, Not sure if this has been addressed before - I couldn’t find anything about it in this forum. Since Copilot is now integrated into Microsoft Forms, there doesn’t seem to be any option to disable it (like in Word, Excel, Powerpoint). What I find frustrating is that every time I open a previously saved form, Copilot automatically runs checks and generates recommendations—which, in my experience, aren’t particularly useful. More concerning is that this process does consume AI credits. I'm on a personal plan with 60 credits, I’d prefer to have control over how and when those are used, rather than having them spent automatically on features I didn’t explicitly choose to use. Microsoft support has confirmed that there’s currently no way to turn Copilot off in Forms. Is anyone else experiencing this, and isn't this something Microsoft should address? Thanks!
200 answers instead of 1000
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?Formulaires Forms bloqués
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.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? 😜
