@galendar_aws,

Maybe u can use calculation for EDITOR of a record instead?

@galendar_aws what type of user information?

If you're users are synched with the Contacts application you can have a calculated cross-reference field pull that user information into the record via calculated fields.

Our contacts application is not in sync with the users. We need user's first and last name information to populate in a text field.

Calculation is as good as it goes for your use case.

you can use the below in your CO

var currentuser = parent.parent.ArcherApp.globals.displayName;
document.getElementById('fldid').value=currentuser;

fldid is the text field id to which you want to set the value
