Mapping fields Question Type Text and Long Text Limitations/Issues
Those two question types work well in SharePoint, where information gets copied in the proper format. However, Forms doesn't limit the length of a string in a standard text field. If the text is longer than the maximum supported 256 characters, then the workflow will hang and eventually fail Ratings Ratings are represented as numbers in Forms. When stored in SharePoint, you can use either a text field or Number field to store the numeric value of the rating in it. Date Date fields captured in Forms can be mapped directly to date fields within SharePoint without any issues. Currently, there is no way to enter time in Forms. So if you use a Date field and configure it to show Date and Time, the time will always be 12:00AM.

Mapping fields Question Type Text and Long Text Limitations/Issues
Choices (Single) When you create a Single Choice question in Forms, the results need to be stored in a text field in SharePoint. Trying to save the result in a Choice field (with the same options) will result in empty results. Interestingly, if you were to try and convert the SharePoint text field to a choice field later on, it will actually recognize the values. However, Forms doesn't limit the length of a string in a standard text field. If the text is longer than the maximum supported 256 characters, then the workflow will hang and eventually fail Choices (Multiple) With multiple choice questions you also need to store the results in a SharePoint text field. Parsing of the results requires extra work, as the format of the Forms multiple choice field differs from that in SharePoint, as shown below: Forms Multiple Choice: ["100 - Beginner","200 -Novice","300 - Intermediate","400 - Expert"] SharePoint Multiple Choice: Beginner;200 -Novice;300 - Intermediate;400 – Expert
