You can now save and edit your survey responses

As of today, 17 Sep 2024, 14 months later, there is still no Power Automate trigger for "When a response is edited".

This means we don't yet have to update our existing flow that copies each response to a SPO List for change detections, as inspired by https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Make-a-flow-that-shows-the-edited-responses-from-my-MS-Forms-on/td-p/2280456 and https://betterlicenses.com/blog/how_to_export_microsoft_forms_answers_to_powerbi.

"Updating a response do not trigger a Power Automate flow. This capability will be enabled soon."

Any news when will be "SOON"??

Thanks

It appears when they select to Save Responses, it only saves in the Microsoft/Forms Portal.  There previously was an option to print or save as a PDF, from the Thank you page, is that not an option anymore?  

I currently have a Form where the "save response to edit later" function is used. I am wondering if it's possible for another person to make edits on the form that was not the original submitter, and how this can be done?

For example: User 1 fills out the Form yet leaves some answers blank as they are unsure of the answers. User 2 would then be able to access the already submitted Form that was saved by User 1 and make edits/ fill in the answers that were unknown by User 1. (Both users are not the creators of the Form but just respondents)

Is the capability going to be added that a user can save one response to a Microsoft Form before submitting with a file name, and allow the user to start a new response? I have users who may need to research info for the first response, and need to start on additional responses in the meantime. Thanks.

Chad_V_Kealey : yes re: generated token; that's as secure as user+password, arguably moreso since you can enforce a long unique token. Perhaps with a validity timeout. And/or a 2-part key requiring a pass-phrase from the user in addition to the token you generate for them. It's not 2-factor authentication. But would suffice in many use cases.

See my comment from last year above (search "let anonymous form users update") recommending this as well.

It's true that some scenarios require high security but not all.

Given that Power Apps doesn't have the capability for anonymous users, Forms is the best option for low-code problem solvers (aka power platform, also "hah" @ low code) to get data into the system from public audience.

As long as I'm here - Forms DESPARATELY needs better support for validation. Like regex for text inputs.

Thanks Lijun_Chen and Chad_V_Kealey - always hoping for a simpler solution; however, I understand that in this age of data & technology we need to be very protective of what we are collecting. I appreciate your responses!

Mary_Andersen , unfortunately, I'm not sure how that would even work. To match an individual back up to their specific response, you need some way to verify their identity and authenticate them. I suppose it could be done using a randomly generated token, but that would not be secure in any way. Considering the type of data some people/orgs collect using Microsoft Forms, that could be a big problem.

One solution may be to use a Sharepoint List to collect the data. You can give outside users access to their specific items in the list. They can open/update the list contents anytime they like.    

Thanks Lijun_Chen; however, it is disappointing since many of our clients do not use MS and even requiring them to create a "free" account is much too cumbersome. Hope at some point Microsoft changes this.
