    I’m trying to give the user the option to remain anonymous when they post a review. (users need to be logged in when posting a review).
    I’ve tried using add_filter(‘site-reviews/create/review-values’ and checking if the name is blank, then put in ‘Anonymous’ instead, but it seems to default in the user’s name before I get the chance to check for blank.
    I’ve also tried adding a checkbox so they can tick ‘I want to be anonymous’ but then if I use the filter as above, it doesn’t pick up my custom form field (even though it is shown on the page).
    Any ideas?

    Why not just change the name format of displayed reviews?

    If you really only want to do this if they specifically want to remain anonymous (i.e. by checking a checkbox), then assuming the checkbox field is a custom field with a field name of “anonymous”, you can do this:

    add_action('site-reviews/review/build/before', function ($review) {
    if ($review->custom->anonymous) {
        $review->set('author', 'Anonymous');
    }
});

    Thank you so much, this is the code I needed, I’ve got it working now.
