    Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5610740/how-do-i-create-a-microsoft-form-with-choices-and

    Currently, Microsoft Forms does not support creating a question that includes both Choice and Text options within the same question.

    As a workaround, you can use separate questions. Add a Choice question first, such as “Do you like apples?”, and then place a Text question immediately below it, such as “Why or why not?”. This allows users to select an option and provide additional details in a separate response field.

    For multiple-choice questions, you can use the built-in + Add "Other" choice option within the Choice question settings. When enabled, users who select Other are automatically provided with a small text box where they can enter a custom response without requiring a separate Text question.

    You can also use branching logic to display a Text question only when a user selects a specific answer. To configure this, open the Choice question, select the three dots (...) in the upper-right corner, and choose Add branching. You can then configure the form so that a follow-up Text question appears only for certain responses, such as displaying a “Why?” question only when the user selects “Yes” or “No.”


    If the above response helps answer your question, remember to "Accept Answer" so that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
