More Field Types
More types of fields with richer options must be available.
If Forms is meant to compete with market leaders in this sector, it cannot offer just 4 types of fields it currently offers. See attached screen shots of how many types of field other services are offering.
Also, you need richer options. For example: you cannot offer only one type of date formatting. We use dd/mm/yyyy in Europe. Americans use the mm/dd/yyyy. The form creator must be able to define the desired format.
In general, we need more types of fields and more advanced control options for each type of field.

Please add support for enforcing "email" address format.

The electronic signature is a must if we want to be able to use this for actual web forms. If not this becomes limited to a survey tool.

Unless this is implemented Microsoft should rename this to Microsoft Surveys - it does not have anywhere near the full functionality of other forms on offer.

need accounting/currency number formatting. I use Forms for sales forecasting and my sales team needs to see $15,400 and not 15400

Need dd/mm/yyyy format as causing confusion with America format.

I absolutely agree. I need a table style form with linked columns w/n the same row. See attached from a sharepoint list form.

Need name, address, email especially. Those are in a large majority of forms you fill out anyway

How is name, phone number and currency not a default thing to start with?

I thought the MS Forms Pro would do this, add more question types, but I see it still has the same sad lack. Even though we have Office365, deficiencies like this keep driving our users to Google Docs Forms.

Include an email field for the user to select multiple emails from the domain or can be manually typed

This suggestion is 16 months old and still not started!!! We can't use Microsoft Forms without this feature.

Microsoft Forms is very limited, especially when compared to G-Suite. I was startled to see how lightweight the product actually was. No drop-down menu? Really? I prefer to keep our environment as homogeneous as possible, but Microsoft keeps dropping the ball (Microsoft Planner is also inadequate). If Microsoft keeps falling short, my next recommendation will be to move to G-Suite and drop Office 365.

Agreed; more filed types which force/compel formatting and data layout for easier data organizing for reporting.
