Good afternoon,

So I had a requirement come up to have a 'Created By' field show on transaction forms, but it's been a real bear trying to get it working. I know one can simply look at the system information to make a determination who created the form, but giving extra permissions to a role isn't the ideal methodology.

I added a custom transaction field, display 'inline-text', type 'free-form text', with the 'source list' of Employee, and 'source from' Name/ID. I added a default formula of {user}, which documentation is supposed to return the current user. The documentation doesn't say if I need to add an = infront of {user}, but I've tried both ways with no success.
