Expose the sender name and email in the Discovery API for uploaders using a submission link

I am validating the data that we are collecting from the Asper Discovery API with regards to Data Transfers. I am specifically looking at uploads done via a Submission link and it seems that the email address that is entered into the webform is not being passed through the API.


This would normally be the source.user.email, however in this case this seems empty.


1) Transfer Activity at a glance

In transfer activity the sender of data via submission link is masked


2) Transfer Activity in detail

If look at the detail of this transfer there is nothing to tell me who sent this


3) Application Events at a glance

If I go and look at this in Application events I see that it was sent as Anonymous Sender


4) Application events in detail

If I expand the transfer I can finally see the sender


5) Data returned by API, you can see the

However due to the way this is displayed in Activity, the source.user.email is blank


6) Details API data view

When I look at the API in more detail I can see reference to the Anonymous Sender.


In fact I have just done an export of this days data and can see from Application events and can see the senders email address is simply not captured.


I have raised this with support and they tell me that the API doesn't "poke" packages to find this information
