    The error message you are seeing indicates that the form is flagged for requesting personal or sensitive information, which is a restriction in Microsoft Forms. Unfortunately, there is no way to disable this restriction directly. To address this issue, you should review the content of your job application form to ensure it adheres to your organization's guidelines regarding personal data collection.

    You may need to consult with your administrator to understand if there are specific policies that limit the collection of certain types of information. Additionally, consider modifying the form to avoid asking for sensitive information or ensure compliance with your organization's data protection policies.

    If you believe the form should be permitted, reaching out to your admin for assistance is advisable, as they can provide guidance or make necessary adjustments to the form settings or permissions.

    Hi

    Thank you for contacting to Microsoft QA.

    It looks like you're running into some issues with your job application form being blocked due to personal or sensitive information content. This is likely linked to Microsoft’s security policies aimed at protecting sensitive data.

    Here's what you can do to tackle this issue:

    Review the Form's Content: Double-check the fields in your form to ensure that they don't contain any personal or sensitive information that might trigger the security policies. Sometimes even asking for a phone number or social security number can cause this issue.

    Check Admin Settings: Since you mentioned you are the administrator, go through the admin settings to see if any policies have been changed recently regarding the collection of sensitive information.

    Modify Form Settings: If you believe the form should not be classified as seeking sensitive information, review the form configuration settings in Microsoft Forms. Sometimes, changing the form’s sharing settings can make a difference.

    Contact Microsoft Support: If you still can't find a resolution, reaching out to Microsoft support might be necessary. They can provide specific insights into the issue based on your organization's settings.

    Documentation Reference: Familiarize yourself with Microsoft Security Policies, which can be found here: Microsoft Purview Documentation.

    I hope these steps help you resolve the issue! If you need more assistance or have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
