we have a Complaint/Idea/suggestion form that needs to be submitted anonymously. 

What is ideal design?

For now, we’ve created 2 lists (same site collection):

1 (List A) we’ve created the nintex responsive form for submission (with one field - MultiLine Text field). 

The other list (List 😎 to move the contents of the 1 multiline text field as a new item.  (we did this only to remove the initiators name but that’s not working)

when testing, each new item that is created in List B shows CreatedBy (my name).  How do we replace the CurrentUser/form Initiator with anything else like “Anonymous” or even the service account the WF runs on (just not the form initiator) 

Hi @kpope,

SharePoint requires that a valid account is recorded in the CreatedBy column so it can't be anonymous.
I haven't tried this, but what happens if you publish the workflow with a service account and then check the “Run as workflow owner” box in the common tab of the configuration of the action?


 

THANK YOU.  Publishing the wf as the service account, and checking the box ‘run as wf owner’ did exactly what I needed.  

btw: creating a variable to replace CREATEDBY with another user account doesn’t work
