Make “Last Modified By” Available as a Database Field

[Edan]

I can’t find a way to display who modified an entity—only the last modified date.

@mdubakov mentioned in this thread that it was implemented, but I can’t find it anywhere:

[✔︎ DONE] Enable DIY Activity Stream view: "Last Modified by" and "Created by" should be added to default fields

Hi, Currently these two very basic and useful read-only fields are not included in the basic fields: “Last Modified by” : {User Name} “Created by” : {User Name} Adding these two will enable an “Activity Stream” type of view where all types are shown as card with no column and row, sorted by descending modification date. This much is possible now. But who modified or created a card will complete such a view. The other thing remaining will be recently commented items. How can recently comment…

It’d be great to access even more existing fields from the Activity Log directly.

Created by was implemented, but not Last modified by

+1 for this!

Just FYI, the Modified by property is available in historical reports, which might be a workaround until Last modified by is a field available in the database directly

It’s also available in the Activity Log, but like reports, it’s not as convenient as having it as a dedicated database field.

I’ve updated the title to make this a suggestion rather than a question. Since the field already exists in multiple places, hopefully, it can be a relatively quick addition if there’s enough demand.
