Avoid adding submitter's name to the file name after it's submitted through MS Forms

Hi Community,

 

I'm currently working on a workflow that allows the attached file in a MS Forms to be direct to different folders base on the multiple choice answer in the form. So basically I will need to use a dynamic content "Document Name" to identify file name and move the file.

 

However, one "really cool" feature of MS Forms is that it automatically adds submitter's name after the file name, so the file would actually get saved as something like "xxxx.pdf_Joe_Smith", which is different from the what the dynamic content identified.

 

I wonder if anyone can help me figure out:

1. How to stop MS Forms from adding submitter's name into the doc name

2. Any other approach to direct attachment based the answer in the form

 

Thank you very much!

 

Roger
