How can I make a drop down list on Forms with all the countries ?

Question

Hi everyone,

So I need to create a form where people will need to enter their country, which is approximately 250 answer choices.

Unfortunately it seems that Forms do not support drop down list where there are too many answer choices.

Is there a way around that limit ?

Thanks in advance,

Georges

Hi Georges Nguyen,

Thanks for reply in our forum.

Based on my test result, we meet same error in our side if we select all country names together  copy and paste on form answer choice option. However, when we copy and paste one by one we can add unlimited answer choice, you can see my result below.

For selecting all numbers together and past on answer choice option feature is not available currently. To redirect your concern, we would recommend you share your good idea to our UserVoice Or Vote.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Georges Nguyen,

Thanks for posting in our forum and we are glad to help you.

We test in our side we select choice and we are able to create above 252 choices in drop down list you can see my test result below.

TO better understand your scenario, could you please let us know, which choice you select like choice/text. And if possible could you please send with us screenshot your result.
