Is there any way to add a comment field for free text to a question that has multiple choice using Microsoft Forms?

When a question is set up to choice yes or no or even multiple choice but you also need to be able to put a comment field to be completed for the same question, I can't find a way to do this using MS Forms.

    Dear respected Kim Norton,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    As per your description, it seems that you want to add a comment (text) to a respective multiple-choice question in Microsoft Form.

    I'm sorry and I'm afraid to say that, unfortunately we can't add a comments box text to a Microsoft form. We feel your pain due to this limitation and we’re really feel sorry for it. However, we appreciate your understanding.  I do understand the inconvenience and apologize for it.

    Personally, I completely agree with you, this is indeed a good addition to the current features of Microsoft Office 365 application. We sincerely recommend you, regarding to your concern, I request you, please send your feedback and write down "Put the comment for each multiple-choice questions" to implement via this link:Microsoft Form feedback portal, Microsoft product developers team monitor this site 24/7 and they will receive your request and put it into consideration. This is the best platform to let related team hear from you and make the products and services better for you and others.

    We can expect this feature to be used in the future in Microsoft Form.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    Waqas Muhammad

    I'd really like to see an answer to this followup question. I have seen instructions for this elsewhere in the past but unless one asks the question in a particular way the answer is very hard to find again. From a search, I seen that this particular question and request has been addressed to Microsoft Support since at least 2019!
