Hi  @Ayman Youssef

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum 

Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that Microsoft Forms treats dropdown as a single-choice format. Enabling multiple answers would require a multi-select dropdown interface, which isn't built into the tool. 

 

For your situation, I suggest you consider to Switch to Checkboxes for Multiple Selections:  

-Keep your question as a "Choice" type. 

-Deselect "Drop-down" (go back to the default list view via the three-dot menu). 

-Toggle "Multiple answers" on—this will display options as checkboxes, allowing users to select more than one. 

 

For now, your voice is incredibly important to us. I kindly encourage you to share your suggestions through the Microsoft Feedback Portal

Simply select the relevant product category (such as multi-select dropdown) to submit your ideas or vote on existing ones related to features, pricing, or even reconsidering the discontinuation. Our product team is directly in charge of managing and monitoring the portal. They constantly review customer feedback and reviews to inform their roadmap. The higher the number of votes an idea receives, the more attention the related team will dedicate to it, as it helps prioritize what matters most to our users. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience; it's feedback from dedicated users like you that helps us evolve. Could you please mark my reply as the accepted answer? This will help attract more people with the same concern to see it, give additional feedback and give a real boost to pushing for those changes at Microsoft
