If your requestor field is a reference field to 'sys_user' field then in the default value of the requestor field put

javascript:gs.getUserID();

it will auto-populate the current logged-in user name.

Set the default value of the field to like in the screenshot below.

Hello @Kunal Balode 

You need to use the gs.getUserID() method.

A sample code is:

1. Create an onload client script on the form that is supposed to populate the field.
2. Enter the code as:

function onLoad() 
{
	var userID = g_user.userID;
	if (g_form.getValue('caller_id') == '')
	g_form.setValue('caller_id', userID);
}

Here we are assuming caller_id is the field on the form that is supposed to populate the value.

You need to check this on your instance.
