Sorry, from your original post I understood that you already had a customized filed.



The only option to change the name as it appears as far as I am aware is to change the display name of the user table to be calculated as first_name last_name (user_name).   This option will add the user id to all references across all tables as the display value.   So it assumes you always want to see user id.   But it does provide a certain consistency.

As an admin, you should be able to see the Configure Available Fields icon.   This sets the glide.ui.[table_name]_activity.fields (i.e. glide.ui.incident_activity.fields):

Hello Joe,



Not Exactly!



If you see my image inserted along with the post ,highlighted is my name (this is display value(name field ) of the user table)which represents the last updated activities on the form.



I want to display highlighted as UserId instead of Name .



Moreover,Activity is a UI macro which inturns calls inline activity.xml (seems to be edited only by SN team).



Please let me know how to achieve it.
