User field not updating

What would cause a user field not to be updated?

I have a checkbox, user and date field.  I have a form rule that when the checkbox is checked to update the user to the current user and the date to the current date.

The date updates but the user field will not.  Here is the rule.

    I figured it out.  I did not have my name showing in the user list and so it wouldn't update for me.  When I added my name back, it worked fine.

    Thank you.

    Try unchecking that box at he bottom so that the rule fires all the time.

      Well, I don't want it to change just because a person is in the record.  I only want it to change when the checkbox is goes from not checked to checked.

      I did uncheck just to check and it is still not updating.  The field is just a user field.

        What is the field type you are trying to update?  Is it from a relationship?
