Description
Bug Description
maybe this is a bug, maybe it's a coincidence...
every response i got on this survey that includes free-form text (from "other" on a select/multi-select) does not have an email address associated with the person
my hunch is there's some bug in how we aggregate events for partial surveys?
How to reproduce
i have not tried to reproduce this, but internally, see survey linked above
