Capture Current User Name in Custom Field
Using a workflow, I would like to set the value of a custom field to the name of the user who executes a custom button.
I was able to almost accomplish this by creating Workflow Action type of Set Field Value, and setting the parameters to set the value From Field Record (Join Field): Current Record, Field: User. This captures the internal id of the user who executes the button, not their name. Is it possible to capture their name instead?
The custom transaction body field I'm attempting to populate is a simple Free-Form Text field, set to store value. I attempted to set this field to a List/Record type sourced by the Employee list, but couldn't get it to work at all.
