MS Forms - fix to resume distribution

Hi Rob Mauws,Thank you for reporting this. The message "This form can't be distributed as it is asking for personal or sensitive information" can sometimes appear when Microsoft Forms detects questions that may contain personal or identifiable information, such as contact details. Based on your description, it sounds like the form is being used to collect referee contact information and availability for scheduling purposes.

As a first step, you may want to review the form questions and settings to identify any fields that could be interpreted as collecting personal information. If possible, try temporarily rewording or removing a suspected question and test whether distribution becomes available again. Creating a copy of the form and testing the copied version may also help determine whether the behavior is related to a specific form configuration.

If the form only contains the information you've described and the warning continues to appear, it may be worth contacting Microsoft Support or submitting feedback through Forms so the scenario can be reviewed further. This can help determine whether the form has been flagged unexpectedly or if additional guidance is available for your specific configuration.
