Anonymous settings in MS Forms
simonpeuter the settings are either "anyone can respond" or only people in your organisation can respond". So if anyone can respond and you need their email address you must ask for that in a text question. Forms has no way of knowing their address otherwise.

- I am having the issue of bringing back the setting "only people people in my organization can respond" without success. Currently any form I start to build is defaulting to "anonymous". I have to correct the issue by creating the two question asking for name and email address but nothing changes.
- Hey Rob,
thanks for your reply. It was already set to "anyone can respond" and the email address was a text question. I was trying to use power automate to extract the data and found there was a bug in there which set the addresses to anonymous. 🙂simonpeuter not correct, if it is set to "anyone can respond" then the form response abd spreadsheet will ALWAYS show it as Anonymous. It is not a bug, it is by design. That is why you need a question that specifically asks for the responder's email address and get that as part of your flow.

Created a form, that collected data into an excel book that the form created, but how can I add the Name and Email fields to the form not to have the anonymous fill in Name and and empty cell in Email. Thanks!
