Advanced Branching -Enable ability to skip/hide questions
Currently, branching works best when only two branches exist. Forms should be able to support more than two branches for a question. The end goal is to hide all irrelevant questions based on a user's response to a previous question.
Below is a example question for this use case:
Q: Please select your preference below.
1. Option A
2. Option B
3. Option C
4. No PreferenceExpected Functionality:
If "No Preference" is selected, I want to skip to the end of the form.If "Option A" is selected, I want to skip to a specific question. The same is…

Change wording of 'submit' to 'next question' when branching is enabled
Currently when branching is enabled, the user sees the word 'Submit' after each question. This is confusing as it implies they have finished the form, whereas if there are further questions to complete, something like 'Next question' would be more appropriate.

Make the branching functionality more obvious when building questions, especially on the first question.
When designing questions, it should be obvious that branching is possible - this affects how questions are written. There should be some connection to it near the actual question creation. Either a direct option to branch from there, or a pointer to find the branching ability.

Thank you for your support on Forms and your feedback on User Voice. We are currently working on improving branching, and we would like to gather more feedback. Please take a few minutes and fill out a quick survey. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

The ability to create hidden fields and the ability to set default values by the owner.
Allowing hidden fields would allow owners to set default values that would be hidden from the end user. It would also allow better branching options and the ability to re-use the same survey over and over and send the data back to a single SharePoint list for cumulative evaluation.

Branching (Advanced)
Hi, it would be great if branching could include some functionality with rating questions - I'm using quite complex branching to go the extra mile and deliver a bit more of a personalised survey and it would be great to send respondents to different questions based on a 1-10 or 1-5 rating, rather than constantly having to ask for 'Strongly Agree - Strongly Disagree' each time.

If a question can be answered w/ multiple responses, it would be nice to branch from each one of those responses.
If a question can be answered w/ multiple options (responses), it would be nice to branch from each one of those responses. Currently, only one branching option is offered from the general question at the top of the options.

conditional required
When using branching, make a question "Required" based on the response to a previous question.
Example:
1) Do you have a smartphone (required)
a) Yes
b) No2) Which operating system does your smartphone have (only required if the answer to 1 is a)
a) iOS
b) Android
c) Windows Phone
d) Other3) Totally unrelated question

Add branching for answers not just questions please
Would it be possible to add branching options to answers given on a form rather than the question. Eg yes ... you got this correct. The next question is...
No ... review the lesson on ... then answer the question again.62 votes -

To add the time limit for answering each quiz question
In Microsoft Forms, if there is an option to set the time limit for answering each question, that would be a great feature. After the time limit is over, question and answer section need to be grayed out and respondent should not be able to answer. In this way, we can test the Time management skill of the respondent.

branching in multiple choice questions
need to show questions based on a multple choice question wth multiple answers

branching
This may be user error, but it seems like when you use branching, all questions after the branching question are hidden until you answer the branching question. It would be better if the full survey was visible, except for any drill-down question, which would just show up in the list based on the response to the branching question.

Include a way to pipe responses from one question to be used in other questions and responses
If I select phone (in responses to preferred method of contact), then the form can branch to the question prompting for entering a phone number (as opposed to entering an email, or address). Then, once the phone number is entered, you can add a question like, "Is your phone number below correct? (and their entered phone number appears for confirmation). If the respondent selects yes, the form continues, if no is selected, then the form goes back to the question prompting for entering a phone number.

Add a free text box under a choice question, and has ability to active it when one of answer was selcted
Suggest to enable the ability of adding text box when user select one of the options in the question, not use the branching. I think this function is used very frequently, if there are many this kind of questions, use branching is just wasting of time I think.

Add branching option to each multiple choice answer when set to multiple answers.
Add branching option to each multiple choice answer when set to multiple answers. Or the ability to build questions into multiple choice questions off of selected answers.
Instead of having it redirect to branched question right away, have multiple choice in separate section, then each selected options branched questions show up in order all together.

move the branching option out of the overflow menu and onto the main toolbar so it is easier to locate and use.
I couldn't find the branching option originally and made the form without it. Having it in the same menu as feedback, help, and logout does not seem like an intuitive location.

Branching should be next to question in form - Like Google Forms!
You need to be able to see the branching for each question in Forms. Also you should be able to branch right at the question instead of going to another screen

Add ability to interact with another form
If for example a "new hire form" is created, when a manager as the option on the form to request a new computer yes or no, if the yes option is selected then the form "called hardware purchase" will show up so it can be filled out. After the "hardware purchase form" has been completed then it goes back to finish the "new hire form"
