Adding questions in Microsoft forms surveys

Question

Is there a way to add new questions to a forms survey that already has responses? And if so do those questions have to be added after the existing questions or can they be integrated into the existing questions to allow for a better flow?

Answer 1

If you need to use Power Automate to add new questions to Forms, the premise is that you need to create a Flow, and then select the corresponding Flow'trigger. This triggers the secondary condition. That is, adding new questions to Microsoft Forms. As shown below:

For instructions on how to use PowerAutomate in Microsoft Forms and materials that may help you, please refer to the following links:

Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

I understand that it's possible to add/edit/remove options for a MS Forms question. Is it possible to add a new questions to the form using PowerAutome?

Hello BrittanyHSTM

Thank you for choosing our Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, don't worry, we can work together to get closer to the answer.

From the Microsoft 365 and Office category you posted, we know your question is " Add a new question to an already responded form survey" . Please feel free to correct me if my understanding is wrong. I know that sometimes troubleshooting can take a while and the fact that the problem has not been resolved can be frustrating.

From my testing, I can add/edit/remove options to a question that used to get a response in the form. The previous response still stands. However, the newly edited options cannot be synchronized to the responded form temporarily.

Make sure you are in the Microsoft Forms Design page first. You can check the page URL, if you are in the response page you cannot edit the form.

If the form has already been responded to, the survey needs to be shared again in an updated state.

According to the official instructions , if you are in a work or school organization, you can use Onedrive to update the form in real time,

• If you've created a form in OneDrive and selected Open in Excel , the Excel workbook is automatically stored in OneDrive for work or school and includes a live data connection to the form. Any new response data in the form will be reflected in the workbook.
• If you've created a form in Excel for the web and selected Open in Excel , the Excel workbook is automatically stored in OneDrive for Work or School and includes a live data connection to the form. Any new response data in the form will be reflected in the workbook.

Hope it helps! If any update, welcome to share with us.
