Show user name on the updated by field

[manoj12398]

Hi,

I have created a custom field u_updated_by_name and I want to populate updated by (sys_updated_by) field value in it. but that shows user ID. How can I populate current value of sys_updated_by in my custom field but should show name of the user instead of user id

Kindly suggest. Thanks

Calculated field is worst in terms of performance and would start causing impact with growing table size.

I would advise you to look fr alternate options like using a update business rule instead. You can run a one time job to take care of this activity for existing records.
