Activity log - user ID - can we change this to display the persons' display name (because user id is a staff number)

[windyzz]

On the person record, the 'User id' is a unique staff number loaded from LDAP server.
On the Activity log on the incident record, each activtly is logged against this user id field.
Therefore we cant see who has performed that activity (unless we know their staff ID number).

Questions is : Is there a way to modify this so that we can show a display name for the person who has peformed the activity rather than just the User ID field from the person record ?

Try out this property: glide.ui.activity.displayname

This is a true/false property:
true shows name field
false shows user_name field

Hi,

How did this work? You added a new property? I don't see any OOB system property 'glide.ui.activity.displayname'.
