Created by column in SharePoint is showing my name rather than the user who submitted the responses to the form

I created a Microsoft Form and linked it to the SharePoint list. The issue I am having is that the 'Created By' column shows my name rather than the person who submitted the responses. I need to limit the items displayed on the SharePoint list to display only the items created by the user accessing the site. I saw that I could filter based on the Created By, but that won't work if the column shows my name instead of the submitters. How can I update the Created By column to show the name of the person who submitted the responses?

Hi @Victor1e ,

Hope you are doing well!
This is an expected outcome because even though the form is submitted by some other user, in SharePoint the item is created on your behalf so it will take your name as created by.

As a workaround, you can create another custom column in SharePoint named as "FormSubmittedBy". The datatype of this column could be Person or group.
And while linking the form to SharePoint, rather than using "Created By" column, you can link the "Responders Email" to newly created column "FormSubmittedBy".
Then later on rather than filtering to "Created By" column you can filter based on "FormSubmittedBy"

I hope this helps.
