Until about 1 year ago, it was possible to run an anonymous survey but still use custom token attributes (like group affiliation). It seems this was fixed to ensure anonymity. However, for us this was an essential feature which other users need too (https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=16228).

Use case: We run an anonymous annual staff survey but want to be able to associate responses with departments (groups), with full consent of the users. This isn't possible anymore without cumbersome workarounds (like setting up separate surveys per department).

Please make anonymous mode 'configurable' such that token attributes (except firstname, lastname, email) are usable in the survey and can be stored in the response table.

Thank you!
