Thank you for your suggestion!
Not really sure about this one, this can include security issues (guessing the token).
Also this can simply be done with any URL shortner you like and can even make it shorter as users otherwise would also have to type the whole
/apps/forms/s/part.If you send them the link digitally then the length and format again does not matter as you can copy paste.
So not sure we will implement this soon.

Hi @susnux,
thank you for your reply. To defend my request:
As a company we are sending, after finishing our projects, surveys to the customers.
Sometimes our costumers, don't fill the survey cause they are afraid of that cryptic link. So my request is about trust.
With the app share_links everyone can "design" speaking links for filesharing with nextcould. Why should it be more risky with forms?

@stefan-rower I agree with you that it's no bigger risk than with files. So feel free to implement it for Forms :) we're always happy about new devs joining 👍🏻

I would love to join and help, but my coding is just enough to manage shell-strips on Linux and manipulate simple php files.

Has anything changed about this topic? Or has anyone started with it's implementation? Otherwise I could offer to do this. Would this be in public interest?

@alexander-rebello thanks for stepping up :)
If you want you can give it a try. I think that we should add an admin setting, too, so that an Admin can choose if this is allowed or not as it is possible for file shares.

Perfect, I'll give it a try
