Last updated:July 20, 2026

When using Creator, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: field creation, automatic filling, and field editing limits; this page answers 3 frequent questions.

FAQ

Can the Creator field be edited?

  1. The Creator field is a system-recorded field.
  2. When a new record is created, WPS fills in the current user name automatically.
  3. After the record is created, the field value cannot be edited manually.

Why does a new record not show a creator?

  1. First, confirm that the current data table already includes a Creator field.
  2. Then check whether you added a new record instead of only editing an existing one.
  3. If the value still does not appear, refresh the data table and check the column again.

What scenarios is the Creator field suitable for?

  1. It works well for task logs, lead entry, inspection records, and other workflows that need source tracing.
  2. When multiple people maintain the same data table, you can identify who created each record directly.
  3. For clearer accountability, you can use the Creator field together with time-related fields.
