Placing the "Updated by" field on your app creates a field that displays the name of the user who last updated a record.
Whenever a record is updated and saved or its Process Management status is moved forward, the user who performed the update is displayed in the "Updated by" field.
The value of the "Updated by" field is automatically filled and cannot be edited.
