Patching the name of the user that created a record

[MikeBlairTP]

My form collects information in a collection then patched it to a SharePoint list.  The created by field in SharePoint is always the owner of the app (me).  Is it possible and how to I patch the username of the person creating record?

You can set this as User().FullName on the patch command, and it should patch the name of the user using the app.

Hi @MikeBlairTP,

I want to explain to you that the CreateBy column within the SP list is a default column populated with the person who created the item.

So the CreateBy column does display the person who created the record, however you could not patch it because it assign the created by person display name to the field automatically after the record is saved successfully.
