We have a form that faculty members fill out for evaluating student learning outcomes. Some of our less tech-savvy faculty prefer filing out the old paper version, which then needs to be transcribed. A workaround is to have another staff member (i.e., me) submit the form with exactly the same answers and then scan the original paper form and attach it to the form as a note. However, the form response still shows that it was submitted by me rather than by the faculty member. We could add a field to the form itself, something like "who provided the responses for this form?", but would it be possible to add the ability to link a form to another person, similar to how applications can be unlinked and relinked?

Toby Robinson Official comment Forms now have a setting to allow selection of who the respondent is.

Clay McFerrin Here's what it currently looks like.

CESL Admissions Question - if your form includes fees and notifications - how would your suggestion impact those triggered actions? 'Masquerading' or being able to 'act-as' as student would work (basically filling out on behalf), but I can see some unintended consequences.
Our workaround to this was to make an embed on a webpage (login not required) and add the linked name and email fields - then on the submission, you can correlate it to the person as the submitter and links the associated actions to that person (the notification goes to the email they put in the form regardless).

Rebecca Parkos Sometimes the 3 stacked dots have the option to "unlink person" but often it doesn't show. We often have to submit forms for our students and it links to our own profiles. Our work around so that it connects to the correct person was to choose no login required, then open the form in a different browser that you are not logged into Populi on, or just log out of Populi then complete the form.
