Unified Interface Timeline - How to change "Note modified by" to "Note Created by" in the timeline feed?

Does anybody know how to change the default behaviour of notes in the new timeline feed so it displays the "Created By" field rather than the "Modified By" field, see the screenshot below:

The problem I have is that when a user creates a note, the Modified By field is blank so you can't see who created the note. If the note is modified after creation, the users' name shows up, but that is useless to me.

I've been trying to see where you can change it but a lot of the options on the note (annotation) entity appear to be locked down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm trying to push the new unified interface but this is going to be a blocker.

Thanks,

Martyn

Hi

The Created By and Modified By will always be set by the system.

Do you have a user with no Name?

If you do advance find and list all the notes created, you would see its got modified by set

Hi Kokulan,

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't have any users with no names and yes, when I do an advance find, the notes have got the correct Modified On user. It's only on the new timeline that this happens. Here is the same note in the old and new interfaces:

Thanks,

Martyn

We have the same problem. The timeline needs to show the Created By and the date time on Notes like it did in the classic UI.

Same here. A new note should not have a modified by, it should be "new". How do we change the Timeline?
