Edit response after submission
MicrosoftHi TOnymcgra
There is no way to know the changes made each time. The form owner can determine whether a response has been modified by checking whether the 'Last modified time' has a value in the Excel worksheet which represents the last modification time of this response.
In Power Automate, there is an action Microsoft Forms > Get response details, whose outputs includes "submitDate", which changes upon editing a response; and I have built some Flows to detect if any response was edit by checking this value.
This worked when I last use the Flows in Jun 2024; now in Sep 2024 I just copied the Flows for another Form, but found "submitDate" is unchanged upon editing a response; meanwhile, the 'Last modified time' column in the Excel worksheet generated through Forms is updated according to the editing time. Has anything changed in the past 3 months in regard to Power Automate?
- DingkunXieI will check with the Product Team regarding this behavior change and get back to you.
- DingkunXieI have confirmed with the product team that there have been no changes regarding the mentioned behavior. The feature owner states that the submission date has remained the same since the feature's inception, with only the last modified time being updated. It is possible that the behavior stems from a Flow update, which might have altered the submission date initially and then reversed it. However, this has not been confirmed by the Flow product team.
