Update field with person who triggers workflow

I have a traditional real time workflow that updates a field on completion of the workflow with "modified by".

It seems to intermittently update it correctly and the rest of the time just updates it to the owner of the record it's running against.

It works on a custom button in a custom entity and the workflow is set to execute as "The user who made changes to the record" so as far as I'm aware it should update it correctly and within the audit history it shows who triggers it fine but it has non consistency.

Any ideas?

Dynamics 365 Workflow Tools and use the "Get Initiating User Action" gives infinite loop error.

Hi Sam,

Hope you are well.

You can add Modified On in the workflow to check what action in that time will be recording in the workflow.

Through this way, we can investigate why Modified by in workflow has nonconsistency with Audit Changed By.

Hi,

Can you try to install Dynamics 365 Workflow Tools and use the "Get Initiating User Action" ? See github.com/.../Get Initiating User.md
