Summary12736: Incomplete warning for anonymous surveys
Description

When changing the survey setting "Anonymous responses" from "off" (default) to "on", there is a warning saying
"If the option -Anonymized responses- is activated only a dummy date stamp (1980-01-01) will be used for all responses to ensure the anonymity of your participants."

That warning is incomplete. Many users think they can still link token data and response data which is wrong. There have been lots of such discussions at the forums where we had to tell users that they actually have to re-do their whole survey because their setting required to be able to link users and responses.

Suggestion: Extend the warning by adding "If you are running a closed survey by using tokens you will NOT be able to link responses to users if the survey is set to be anonymous."
(Feel free to provide a better warning.)

Steps To Reproduce

At any survey change the survey setting for "Anonymous responses" from "off" (default) to "on".

Additional Information

The improved warning message also has to be applied to the survey activation action at which the same warning shows up when changing that setting.
