How to change Created By column value when using PowerAutomate to create items in List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to change the Created By column to display the user who has created the item on sharepoint list. In my case, the person who creates the item on Sharepoint could be any user.


Due to the 'Create Item' command i have in my flow, sharepoint by default autopopulates this field with my user name (as i am the flow owner). In this case, the person who creates the item on Sharepoint could be any user.

 

I was looking at the post which you said helped you, however, in the post, the author has already a designated user which he would like to assign in the Modified By column.

 

Do you know the way to change the user in the Created By from me to the user who actually created the item on SP?
I need this to update Created By to ensure that item-level permissions in a list worked correctly.

    I think this is a pretty detailed step by step on how to do it. It's not the easiest task to pull off, but if you follow it carefully, you should be able to pull it off.
