workflow formula to get current user

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite workflows, you can use the 'Current User' field to get the user who is currently logged in and performing the action. However, the way to use this field can vary depending on the context and the specific requirements of your workflow. For example, if you want to default the name of the user creating a case record, you can create a workflow for the case record and use a 'Set Field Value' action. In the 'Value' field, you can select 'Current User' from the dropdown list. This will set the value of the specified field to the current user's name when the case record is loaded. If you have a multi-select field and you want to append the current user to this field in a workflow, you might need to use a script. Workflows do not support appending values to multi-select fields directly. You can create a Workflow Action Script to retrieve the current selection, append the new user, and save the updated selection. Here is a general example of how you might use the 'Current User' field in a workflow: 1. Create a new workflow or edit an existing one. 2. Add a new action. This could be a 'Set Field Value' action, a 'Send Email' action, or any other action that supports using the 'Current User' field. 3. In the action settings, look for a field where you can specify a value or a recipient. This could be the 'Value' field in a 'Set Field Value' action, the 'Recipient' field in a 'Send Email' action, etc. 4. Select 'Current User' from the dropdown list. This will use the name of the user who is currently logged in and performing the action. Please note that the exact steps and options might vary depending on the specific requirements of your workflow and the type of record you are working with. Always test your workflows thoroughly to ensure they are working as expected. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
