Have "Add comments" on Forms

After each Question, I would love to have a " Add Comment" section so that the answerer can put a comment/explanation for his/her answer.

        Why would any competent and knowledgable designer not include a comments option for questions in a survey tool. The survey tool is essentially useless without it. As much as I would like to exclusively use the suite of tools in office 365 used by my campus it is difficult when tools are so limited and seemingly not well thought out.

        We've currently a number of annual surveys that won't use Forms because this option isn't available.

        I need a comment option to add with my checklists. Any idea when this option may be available??

        One comment identifies Branching : but as another commenter pointed out, Branching creates a new numbered question, not a connected comment to the previous answer.

        Bumping this topic: We need it too! Especially when creating employee satisfaction surveys, comments are very valuable. Please help us MS!

        While this is partially achievable at the moment by interleaving text boxes with questions, it does mean that each box automatically gets its own question 'number' which can't be removed.

        It will be very useful.
        Same as the description option that can be activated or not.

        I agree as well. I want to create an audit form, and having an area for auditors to enter additional comments is extremely valuable.

        I absolutley agree - this is necessary - NOT as an additional question but as an addition to the question.

      • Chad C. commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I agree with others here that Forms would be much more usefuly if they offered an Add Comment section after specific questions.

        My org needs this functionality as well. We need to know why people are responding the way they are, but as it is right now, there is no way to gather additional feedback other that adding an additional question.

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Absolutely!! This needs to be added. I could not believe this isn't a standard option to begin with??
