created by field in sys_journal_field table populated from where?

[Mohamed Taha]

I have BR works on incident table with when is before inserted or updated 
based on some condition I insert additional comment using this command 
current.comments="some text here";

and it appears correctly but it sets the created by to me" current user" instead of system 

how can i solve this or edit it to make the created_by field to system

What happens if you do it 'after'? I didn't try it (my pdi is sleeping), but on the before I am sure the business rule will set the created by as the user triggering it. If after does the same, a flow running as system will surely put 'system' in there.

I've tried to change it to before but nothing change

Hi @Mohamed Taha ,

Did you try adding one more line current.autoSysFields(false); in the br ?If not please do give it a try and let me know if this does not work for you.

Else you can try something as below,

 current.comments.setJournalEntry('some text here', 'System');

Please mark this comment as Correct Answer/Helpful if it helped you.

Do I need to change the BR to after instead of before or it will work with before ?
