need to get in a custom body field de employee who last modified the transaction. how can I do this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the employee who last modified the transaction in a custom body field, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a custom transaction body field. You can do this by navigating to

Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Body Fields > New

. Set the type to

List/Record

and select

Employee

from the list. 2. Create a workflow that triggers on the transaction record type you are interested in. You can do this by navigating to

Customization > Workflow > Workflows > New

. Set the

Record Type

to the transaction type you want to track. 3. In the workflow, add a

Set Field Value

action that triggers

Before Record Submit

. Set the

Field

to the custom field you created in step 1, and set the

Value

to

Current User

. This will set the custom field to the current user every time the transaction is edited. 4. Optionally, you can add a

State

to the workflow that checks the

context

of the transaction edit. This allows you to only capture edits made directly by users in the User Interface or by CSV Import, and ignore edits made by scripts or APIs. Here is a sample code snippet for the workflow action:

javascript
var workflowAction = record.create({
    type: record.Type.WORKFLOW_ACTION,
    isDynamic: true,
});
workflowAction.setValue({
    fieldId: 'custbody_last_edited_by',
    value: runtime.getCurrentUser().id,
});
workflowAction.save();

Please note that this will only track the last user who edited the transaction, not the history of all edits. If you need to track all edits, you may need to use the

System Notes

feature or create a custom record to log all changes. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
