Your response will remain anonymous to the form owner after you sign in to save the response.

Why am i getting the "Your response will remain anonymous to the form owner after you sign in to save the response."? Any way to get rid of this?

Any ETA on this? I'm also very intererested in this issue as it is preventing us from using the form.

Same here! Would love an ETA on the fix so we can us the form as well. We too are requesting names and email addresses.

    Thank you for your patience. Here's an update on the latest progress. The product team has decided to adjust the wording of the 'Save the response' and 'Save and edit later' buttons, and will no longer mention that responses will remain anonymous. We hope this change will address some users' needs for collecting user information through the 'Anyone can respond' form. We expect this change to be deployed to production in the next few weeks. As for another type of feedback requesting a setting to enable/disable the 'Save the response' feature for form owners, the product team is aware of this need and is currently discussing possible changes. We anticipate having discussion results in the next few weeks.

      DingkunXie that's great news - can you also suggest that the ability to add a captcha to the page is really important!?  Either a built in captcha - or the ability to add some code in a content editor part woud be super helpful and make forms actually very useful!

        I remember we logged a similar Design Change Request (DCR) before. I need to do some checking with the Product team. If it's possible for you to share any details of the scenarios you are trying to run with this feature, I can help deliver your needs. This would be helpful for the Product team to prioritize the ask. If possible, it would be highly appreciated if you could start a new post for your question. This way, people who may have a similar question can easily find the context.
