Is there a way to use validation rules and change the text for the "Request Response" validation option?
I have a survey where we wish to capture name and email address to distribute survey incentives. However- I would like to give participants the option NOT provide their personal info, but still submit the survey.
I can set up a custom validation so that if the fields are left blank they get the standard request response: 
And if I use custom validation, I get the right message: 
However, I can't manage to both 1) Check information for accuracy (valid email) AND 2) Allow the user to not send anything. Any suggestions on how to do both?
Change the Request Response Langauge

Hi @Kate ,
If you're not doing so already, make this a Text Entry-Form question type, and apply "Valid Email Address" validation to the Email Address field. This will satisfy requirement #1.
Remove the the Request Response validation, and instead, set up Custom Validation that will accept only two conditions: if all fields are left blank, or all fields are filled in. This will satisfy requirement #2.
Hope this helps.
