You deserve a lot more attention and likes for the quality of the work and effort seen here. The only advantage I can see with forms is that you can include big chunks of test and style the wording easily. Lists doesn't let you, but has a fantastic backend.

Thanks so much, Amy 😊 great to see the side by side visuals and hear the reasons why one works better for certain situations. Exactly what I was hoping you would explain. Great video!

So in short, a poll or survey is ideal for FORMS; and if data collection is part of a workflow, LIST is the way to go.

THIS WAS AWESOME THANK YOU for sharing this! I was and still am having an issue with a forms link, only 4 questions show up then the submit button. BUT after watching this I just created two list forms and I am not having issues with the links showing all the questions!

Brilliant video

@nazerbor3i 1 year ago

how about language? can we add a second language to the same list form?

@laurentkraft3477 11 months ago

Great video - just one item I'd add about the differences between both solutions ... one of the "benefit" of MS Forms is that you can squeeze the form in section - I know you quickly spoke about it in your video, but this is quite important and a bit sad that this feature is not existing in MS List Forms as I wanted to test it to replace one Form I created to get rid of the power automate to get the data's moved into a list on one SharePoint, but this limitation stopped me, so I'll stay with my original setup :-( But will definitely remember the MS List Form option for cases where these "sections" are not mandatory as it makes the setup clearly much easier !!!

Thanks, I was confused by the 2 types of forms. I thought they're the same thing. So confusing.

@SohiniRoy-e8j 1 year ago

Thanks for this tutorial. If I want to send an email notification to the user who submitted the MS List form and thereby created an entry in the list, how do I do that? I tried creating a rule on "A new item is created" and then "send an email to" "Created by". But the submitted is still not receiving any email.

@michaellaitman8903 10 months ago

Is it possible to hide the data type icon that shows up to the left of the questions in list forms? I.e a calendar shows up for questions that require date inputs.

@douglasschappi1671 1 year ago

Hello - I need to change the display text to a really long url that I need to point my users of the List to. Is that possible to do in the initial direction of the lists form?
