gs.getUserId() return the wrong current user

[Lhora Alvarez]

Hi all!

There's a problem with getUserId().

I have a business rule that will trigger when userA approves a record submitted by userB.

When approved, the business rule will post a work_note to the record. The author is expected to be userA because he is the one who approved it. But when I checked the record, userB is the author instead of userA.

When printing the userId of the current loggedin user, it is userB's sys_id that is printed instead of userA.

Why is this?

I'm not using Before BR because I'm not updating the current object. I am using After BR because I'm updating another record that is related to the current object.

Also, when I checked the sys_journal_fields table, the name under the sys_created_by is userB, not userA. So, that's a thought...

Anyway, I moved the target table of my BR to approval table, instead of my custom Task table. This time, userA is now the author of the comment/work_note, which is correct. 

Thank you so much for replying to my question.
