Hi,

While creating the record through power page for Dataverse table, created by name showing as SYSTEM instated of user ID. Actually, once the user submits their form in power page website, we need the created by details to share response to user through power automated flow,

I have also tried the steps mentioned in this https://www.inogic.com/blog/2018/09/identify-the-source-of-records-created-from-microsoft-portal-in-dynamics-365/

But, it's not working still the created by showing as SYSTEM only. Could you please help me on this?

Regards,

Arthi S

Hi @ArthiS3 ,
You can prepopulate the createdBY field with current user's contact by editing basic form metadata from your form in portal management app. This way createdby would be updated whenever any logged in user creates a new record. and this would not work with anonymous users.

Although I never tried above approach being Created by column as system column, if the approach does not work another solution can be to create a new lookup field of contact table and prepopulate this field as mentioned above from the portal management app and this new field can be used to find the creator the records.

@Atmaram90 Created By will only accept a System User as a value not a contact

@ArthiS3 you cannot change the actual Created By field. What you can do instead is create your own fields (Contact and Account Lookups) and populate them with values either via the Associate method (in the link you provided), or using form metadata (my preferred way). The outcome of this is that in the Audit History it will show as being Created/Updated by SYSTEM but the transaction will also contain fields indicating the Portal User who performed the action.
