Dear PA Users,

I'm creating a "Suggestion Box" to a company. I added in SP list a Column named "Anonymous" (Yes/No). I would like to hide the creator of the record, if the person would like to give a suggestion anonymously. Is that possible? How can I reach that? I'm wondering if there is a possibility to create a flow:

"When Anonymous = Yes, make a Service_Account creator of that record in "Created by" column"

Maybe it's trivial, but I cannot find a solution. Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Karol

Is it possible to add an email from the person who sends this email? I don't want one specific one by default.
Below is the code I entered, but unfortunately it still does not work

Dear @ekarim2020 thanks.

I noticed that I had no Site Owner permissions, I gave proper privileges 5 mins ago. I'll check it later, because it's not working, maybe it needs time to "sync" in the cloud.

I've just created the flow and successfully changed both the author and editor

{ "formValues": [ { "FieldName": "Author", "FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|AlexW@dev365.com'}]" } ], "bNewDocumentUpdate": true }

(1) Make sure that the Uri starts with an underscore character:

(2) The error 401 Unauthorized may indicate a permissions problem? Do you have Site Owner permissions to the SharePoint site?

Dear @ekarim2020,

I got stuck:

401 UNAUTHORIZED
I copied 1:1 everything from that link. Any ideas?

Body:
{
"formValues":[
{
"FieldName": "Author",
"FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|rpauser@domain.com'}]"
},
{
"FieldName": "Editor",
"FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|rpauser@domain.com'}]"
}
],
"bNewDocumentUpdate": true
}
}
