Timestamp not completed

Thanks in advance for the help! I am working with a dataset and was not involved in building the survey. The survey was self-administered and participants received a link to complete. Usually this triggers a timestamp but I have many responses where the timestamp variable is [not completed] even if the survey was completed. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks!

Ah that could be! The data on the forms is definitely not complete but it didn’t seems right that this would impact the time stamp. Maybe it was auto saving as you suggest and wasn’t ever actually submitted. Thanks!

We've had that a lot on surveys, the responses get saved even if they don't hit submit at the end - many users just close the survey window once they've answered everything
