How to add contact info for user to fill out on form ?

[Captkirk91]

After creating my form I need to add some text boxes where the user who is filling out the form can put down their info like name, company, phone number etc. Maybe I missing something but it will only let me add a text box in the form of a question. I simply just want to add some text fields for the user to put in their information. Why is this so difficult and is this possible ?

@Captkirk91 there is no way to do this other than to add it as a question: What is yourname? What is your email? What is your company? etc etc

@RobElliott  thank you that is what I figured seems there is a lack of features with this app. Can I change the "Enter your answer" field ? is it possible to change the text

No it isn't.

.... why is it that some templates have this option but when creating a form by scratch it will not allow the "Phone Number" option? 

How do we add to a fresh build not using a template? 

Found this nugget if you understand VBA...

But that's got nothing to do with Microsoft Forms.

:( ... I'm trying :) - there has to be something for this - as the templates have this option... or is it just survey formatting... is there a way to tag Microsoft. They have to be smart enough to add this simple function...

@JimmyLogistics the only Microsoft Forms template that seems to have a phone number question is the community volunteer registration template and just has the restriction as a number.

You are correct!!! - Thats a bummer that its not mapping to excel custom/special field for "Phone Number" - wouldn't that be a simple connection in forms?
