Question

Determine who completed a User Task step

asked on September 3, 2021

I have a field in my form. I want to populate that with whoever completed a user task. What is the best way to do that?

 

Thanks

I usually default the field to CURRENT USER and then make the field READ ONLY.  Would that work for you?

Thanks, that did not work. It always has the form initiator as the current user

Is it the previous user task you want the name of?  Could you have a hidden field that collects the user name when submitted and would be filled when the next person opens the form?

Yes, that is what I was doing. Using the Current User variable, I was hoping to capture that. But, it does not capture who completed the task, always has the person who initiated the instance.

Mine always capture the name of the person working on the current task. For instance, an individual submits an invoice requesting approval for payment.  In this clipshot, I'm on the version of the form the approver would see and it does capture my name each time in this read-only field: 

Try duplicating your form and using the copy as the version that your new user sees when they complete their task.  And build a new single line field to capture that user in.

I usually have 3-4 versions of my form for every process... as slightly different version for each user task (in most cases).

Are you setting the default value of that field to {/_currentuser_display}?

You can also access the "Input Parameter" token "Submitter" from within Workflow, if that works for your process.

Yes, that is what I have for the default:
