I want to build a Chatbot that asks a series of questions based on the user’s responses, but I want to limit the responses they can make to some of the questions. This would be in the form of a pick list that may contain a large number of choices that would be too wordy to list in the questions being asked.

In essence, I would like to have the user input capability from form creation available in chatbot creation. Is there a way to do this, or a possible workaround?

You cannot have the user input format in chatbots.

I suggest you look at the Course Creator example inside the chatbot builder. It will give you a good starting point. You can even tell it to offer a couple answers options for each question. It will not, however, allow you do exactly what you’re looking for.
