How can I output the name of the creator in a calculation field?
I would like to avoid having to select my name manually.
Of course, you could build automation, but I think there is certainly an easier way. Isn’t there?
Hi @Roman
It looks to me like the last Edited by is available in the calculation but not created by which seems a bit strange. So I am guessing if you need created by currently you would need automation I can’t see a simpler way of doing it myself either.
I guess it could be worth a feature request if no one else can come up with a simple way?
Until feature is added maybe a workaround:
Add hidden text field and populate it on create automation with name of the creator and then you can use it in calculation.

Yes, I was afraid of that. Thank you anyway.

So it is not possible to display the user ID in a calculation?
This would make it possible to display a dynamic value via calculation, depending on who is viewing an entry.
