    Definitely agree that this is a feature we need in order to ensure professional quality forms and easy distribution to clients.

    Please allow us to shorten URL. This long one looks to my outside receivers to be a bad link and they won't click on it.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    the current lengthy url will not work in a prompt window whereas a shorter url would work. The ability to shorten the url would be ideal

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, a shorter URL link would be great as currently the link looks unprofessional especially when you are sending it to external users.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This would definitely make life easier when sending links to users to complete the form, if we could have a more user friendly URL or customise. It would also look more professional instead of a huge big long waffly link.

    Or better yet, can we have an option to add our own URLs? Like testdomain.com/New365Forms or
    testdoamin.com/VoteForm

  • Kate commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes! This would be an incredibly helpful feature for sending out hard copy mailings where attendees need to type the link address into their browser.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please!
    Something easy to type so a parent can 'transfer' it from their phone to a child's laptop.

    Was this functionality removed? I have a recollection or it being available previously.

    Please Implement this across all M365 products. The current link format makes it difficult to include a link in a presentation or communication.

    How has this still not been delivered? Google forms offers a shorten link feature. I understand that a custom link feature is really complicated in terms of maintaining unique links (and for comparison, this is NOT offered by Google forms) but surely there's a way to cut the link down to a reasonable number of characters?
