I have a canvas app with a single form. One of the fields shown on the form is the 'Created By' field to show the user the originator of the item. When I click the button that should submit the form, I get an error that the Created By field cannot be updated. Per Microsoft (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-card#key-properties), removing the DataField property should unbind the card, but I'm still getting the error. If I blank the field, the error changes to an 'unknown' error.
Any help is appreciated.
Dear @jesslynh
Do not include 'Created By' column on New/Edit modes of the form. By default when any entry is created using the submit form, the current logged-in user name will be automatically saved into the data source in Created By column.
You can make 'Created By' column visible in only when the form mode is View. This way you can see who is the creator of the item/record.
Hope this helps.
