Hello @vffdd ,

you can do that with an HTTP request by updating the "Author" field:

and I'd recommend updating also the Editor field at the same time to keep it consistent.

Method: POST Uri: _api/web/lists/GetByTitle('<ListName>')/items(<ItemID>)/validateUpdateListItem Body: { "formValues":[ { "FieldName": "Author", "FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|<new author email>'}]" }, { "FieldName": "Editor", "FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|<new editor email>'}]" } ], "bNewDocumentUpdate": true }
