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.

Would also love Matrix options e.g. Matrix of Dropdown Menus, Matrix Rating Scale. Without such options, I find I am forced to use another survey platform that provides a lot more flexibility in question styles.

This is excellent!
I am looking to add a "people" field which would offer suggestions as you start typing with names within your organisations. It would need to be a valid employee name (for internal use only). -

I agree that forms is a basic digital utility and should be expanded to encompass the other free offerings of other services rather than reserving features for Forms Pro.

By adding an option for the answers box to format in different ways, such as currency or numbers would make Forms a much more powerful tool

The Field Type of 'Combo Box' so users have the ability to start to type and the results are filtered based on the text. Similar to a Combo Box functionality in PowerApps.

Also, the ability to add a phone # as a formatted field - so it will reject filling it in with a random character

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
