Button automation with creation log

Platform discussions

i built a board that is suppose to work as a field report for our technicians.
because some of them are a bit of a " Luddite" so I’ve added a simple automation.
“when button pressed–> create new item”
and I’ve added the creation log Colum thinking that anyone that pressed the item would be the creator of the said item and the creation log would show it.
in actuality the creation log always showed me as the creator of the item. I’m guessing its because I created the button automation making me the creator due to being the creator of the button.
I don’t know if this is intentional or its a bug but maybe someone has a workaround?

HI,

This is intentional , Becuse you set up the automation you are the creator of the item.

There is workaround using Make.com you can create a item and then set the person who triggerd the item creation as assigne.

Let me know if you need help with the Make.com setup.
