HI @Vinay49 ,
I trust you are doing great.

To achieve this, you can use a dictionary override. A dictionary override allows you to customize the behavior of a field, including setting default values. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open the ServiceNow instance and navigate to the Task table's dictionary.
2. Locate the field for which you want to set the default value.
3. Click on the field to edit its properties.
4. In the "Default Value" field, enter the following script:

javascript: gs.getUserID();

This script retrieves the ID of the current logged-in user.

1. Save the changes.
