Take Forms to the next level
This would be invaluable with a few additions:
1) Checkboxes (not just radio)
2) email alerts when completed to Form owner(s)
3) Ability to attach files (20-50mb)
4) Ability to turn completed forms into tasks or "to do lists"
5) "if this... then" when creating the questions would be great. So some questions might "unlock" other questions.(slightly different than branching).
6) ability to link dates to a shared calendar (making due dates and reminders possible

I wish I could vote on this more than once. It really needs the If...then elements to require additional questions or skip to the next

You need to add digital signatures to forms
And definitely need to add ability to turn completed forms into tasks or 'to do' lists.

Allow form to be editable so when used for approvals, the approver could request changes/updates, etc and the form can be "resubmitted"!!!

Another vote for #5. For now I'm getting around this by adding additional questions, but it really messes up formulas in the spreadsheet for tallying answers, e.g., COUNTIF.

YES! Very much this... please. I want the ability to 'skip' questions depending on which answer is selected.

Similar to Branching, but more useful for a school setting - the ability to prevent the next question from popping up until the correct answer is given - so you "unlock" the rest of the form or another question.

Need to add a few more.
Add character / word limit or REQUIREMENT to any text entry (short / long)
i.e.
question requires 8 characters (would not allow proceed without only 7 )
questions required 25 words, but not more than 50
specify character limits per question. -

1) checkboxes already available
2) Email alerts already available
3) File attachments is being worked on - https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/18859033-add-upload-attachment-for-uploading-a-document-im
4) outside the functionality of forms - this can be achieved in Microsoft Flow (if using Microsoft Forms Pro)
5) are you talking about progressive enhancement? -

+1 for idea 5. Please add conditions to questions, e.g.
If Q1A1 is ticked in multiple choice question, then Q2 is shown.
If Q1A1 is NOT ticked, then Q2 is NOT shown. -
