Anonymous settings in MS Forms

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.
