Hi,
I have a new form. How do I display real time the created by value when a requestor will create a new item??
As of now, it will only show up when an item is already saved
You wouldn't use the field itself as it only populates on Create. Display a text field and set it to something like =User().FullName
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/show-current-user
I just figured out that User().Fullname formula to display who is currently signed in. So when the form is in display mode and accessed by other user, it will not display the created by field instead the current user who is viewing the request.
Anyway thanks. I just created a different form for display to have a different formula so it will still reflect the one who really created the item.
