Updated by field be populated with system

[rajesh29]

Hello Everyone,

i have created Business Rule (Before) insert and update. when state is changed to Restored, it is filled with the time in Restored field.  please refer the below attached screenshot. but updated by field is  Populated with System.

how to stop the system updated by?I need to get instead of system who is update by the (user).

script:

condition: state changes to Restored

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var time = gs.nowDateTime();
current.u_restored = time;
current.autoSysFields(false);
//current.update();

})(current, previous);

Hi @rajesh 

if you follow the recommendation not to invoke current.update() in a before Business Rule and if you also comment out the line with current.autoSysFields(false); then you should find in the "updated_by" the name of the user who triggered the update.

Kind regards

Thank you @Maik Skoddow 

Could you please clarify, is the below code is correct?

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var time = gs.nowDateTime();
current.u_restored = time;
//current.autoSysFields(false);
//current.update();

})(current, previous);

Thank you,
