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