Hi everyone,

Thanks for help.

@JohnDF - Create the dictionary overide on the cmdb.owned_by as the field is cloned down from there. see the below screenshot.

Solution2: You can write an onBefore insert BR on the table, condition: class: service and just set the field value

current.field_name = gs.getUserID();

As in your case you are letting users to change the value anytime.

I should specified, the default value only works for future records going forward.

Did you want to update existing records?

The reference should be filled when creating the record with the created by user. But later it should be possible to change the reference with another user when I want to Update the record.
