FORMS that have recently ALL disappeared
Hi, I use Microsoft 365 and use FORMS on the web regularly to create results FORMS for friends to fill in the form to show their 5k run time for the week. Over the weeks I'd created about 11 of these and they had always worked fine. However yesterday all the FORMS I had created started to disappear, to the point where they have ALL now disappeared! Frustrating as there was data in there I needed and the lasted one was in the process of being used to collect times. Has Microsoft updated something or is there a wider problem? Where have my FORMS gone? I have checked the recycle bin and they are not there! I did also notice that if I tried to fill in the FORM myself, I got the unusual message of "This form might not be safe - We recommend you don't provide your personal or sensitive information. The form owner may potentially be trying to collect it." You could then click on "Close This Page" or "Continue anyway (not recommended)" - see attached screen dump. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards Robert
Some Form questions are getting brackets [ ] around answers, \n at the end, and/or <br> at the end.
I have Form that triggers a flow when submitted. That flow puts the Form data into a SharePoint list. There's a couple questions on the form that consistently get brackets ["answer"] around the answer and sometimes the same question will have the brackets and a \n at the end like ["answer\n"]. There's another question that inconsistently gets a <br> put at the end of the answer answer<br>. I've tried deleting the questions with the problem(s) and re-creating them, but the issue persists. The problem seems to lie within Forms and not Flow or SharePoint because when I check the response details within Forms I see answers getting the extra stuff it shouldn't get. Here's some screenshots: Question and answers in Forms: The way the data submitted into a SharePoint list: Raw input in Flow: Any ideas whats causing this?
Form does not exist
I recently printed some leaflets with the QR code and URL to my forms and had 40+ responses. I had made some minor changes to the form and the outcome of the blue when you scan the form you get an error message that read "the form does now exist".... The thing is ,it does exist. It's not in the deleted bin it's active, it's just upon further exploration I can see the QR code and URL has changed. I have been using the tick box that says make URL shorter...could it be that? Does this change the URL and QR Code every time you press it?
Does the QR Code change in MS Forms?
Hi All, We are using MS Forms and have embedded the QR Codes into PDF documents for Customers to scan as they enter the premises. This was working well until yesterday but, now, when Customers scan the PDF it says the Form does not exist. I verified the Form does exist and checked the QR Code generated under 'Share'. The QR Code is different to what it was before. Any ideas why this would happen? One of the Forms was updated last Wednesday but was working fine up until yesterday. Other Forms which have not been amended started having the same issue this very morning.
Pre-fill Responses in Your Microsoft Forms
We are excited to share that Microsoft Forms now supports pre-filled links, making your data collection process more efficient and improving data accuracy. This feature not only allows you to set default answers for your questions, it empowers you to strategize how you would like the responses categorized. To help you better understand how to leverage this new feature, let's try it together with an online training feedback survey.Ultimate Polling and Quiz Experience with Polls app: The Replacement for Forms app in Teams meeting
Initially Forms app was launched in Teams - for different experiences based on the sync vs async user scenarios, as it points to polling experience in meetings for quick creation to launch, while it points to survey experience in the context of Teams channel.To provide an intuitive and easy-to-access experience , Polls app was launched - a dedicated app for all your polling and quiz needs in Teams meeting and chat. We are glad to see that hosting an effective and interactive meeting just got easier after the launch of Polls.Add or remove people from your form response notification emails
Allowing only the form owner to receive response notifications has long been a pain point for many users. But that's no longer a problem! You can now add or remove people or groups from the response notification emails, for forms or quizzes, keeping everyone in the loop! Let’s check how it works together.
Custom Form Notifications for External Forms
Anytime someone external submits a MS Form, it shows as anonymous in the email notification. There needs to be an option to show the name or first name, last name field on the form or have the option to send a notification with a summary of the individual responses. This is helpful for when I'm collecting responses for job application candidates across multiple different roles/forms within a company. Its better than creating 50 power-automates and deleting and recreating them as positions in my organization open and close constantly.
