How to Report Incorrect Python Code Generated by Microsoft Copilot
Question details
The user wants to know the proper procedure for reporting instances where Microsoft Copilot generates incorrect Python code, such as syntax errors involving tuple elements.
- Product
- Microsoft Copilot
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- A user encounters incorrect Python syntax generated by Copilot and wishes to send a reproducible bug report to Microsoft to help fix the AI's coding behavior.
- Observed behavior
- Microsoft Copilot generates flawed Python code (e.g., omitting square brackets when accessing tuple elements), prompting the need for a bug escalation channel.
Gather your original prompt, the incorrect code generated by Copilot, and the expected correct code to create a clear, minimal reproducible example for your report.
Submit a Report via the Microsoft Feedback Portal
The standard method for all users to report Copilot AI inaccuracies and provide reproducible examples directly to Microsoft.
Using the official feedback portal ensures that your report reaches the engineering teams responsible for training and refining Microsoft Copilot's coding models.
Go to the Microsoft Feedback Portal web page and sign in with your Microsoft account.
Choose 'Microsoft 365' or 'Copilot' from the list of products to start a new feedback post.
Provide a descriptive title. In the body, list your exact prompt, the incorrect Python code output, and the expected code.
Include a minimal reproducible example and specify the Microsoft 365 interface you used, then click submit.
Open a Support Request in the Admin Center
Microsoft 365 administrators can submit a formal support ticket to escalate reproducible Copilot coding errors.
Experience Seamless AI Productivity with WPS Office
While waiting for Microsoft Copilot updates to resolve coding errors, consider using WPS Office. WPS Office offers a robust, lightweight suite with WPS AI built-in, providing smart assistance for document creation, data analysis, and productivity tasks without heavy subscription costs.

- 2. Install WPS Office: Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the suite.
- 3. Explore WPS AI: Launch the application, open a new document, and activate WPS AI to experience seamless productivity enhancements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is essential when reporting a Copilot coding bug?
To help engineers investigate, you should include your original text prompt, the exact incorrect Python code output, the expected correct code, a minimal reproducible example, and the specific Microsoft 365 interface or app you were using.
Can regular users open a Microsoft 365 support ticket for Copilot?
Generally, opening a formal support ticket in the Microsoft 365 admin center is restricted to tenant administrators. Regular users should submit their issues through the Microsoft Feedback Portal.
Why does Microsoft Copilot sometimes generate incorrect Python syntax?
Like all large language models, Copilot occasionally hallucinates or produces syntactically invalid code, particularly for complex structures like multi-dimensional tuples or highly specific indexing. Reporting these errors helps train and improve the AI model over time.
