However, there are some insights that can be inferred. Firstly, it is mentioned that the

created by

field, also referred to as Owner, can be changed on custom records. This suggests that if the owner of a custom record leaves the company, it is technically possible to update the Owner field to reflect this change. Secondly, in the context of dealing with employee records of former admins, one user suggests using an integration record with a custom role, rather than tying integrations to a specific user. This could be interpreted as a best practice to avoid issues when an employee leaves the company, as it reduces dependency on individual user accounts. Lastly, it is mentioned that permissions can be assigned to only allow the owner of a record to edit it. This could imply that if the owner of a record leaves the company, it would be necessary to update the Owner field to ensure that the record can still be edited. In conclusion, while it is not explicitly stated, it can be inferred that it may be considered best practice to update the Owner of custom fields and records when that person leaves the company, in order to maintain functionality and access control. However, this may depend on the specific policies and practices of each company.
