Current User in Automation

All,

I am having a issue with an automation that creates records when fired but records myself as the automation owner as the record creator. 

The automation creates one record for every checkbox selected from another record.  The user doing this should be added as the person who created the record.

Right now I am using the current user function user() and then looking up the user employee ID.  It is this employee ID that I am wanting to write to the new record. It still consistently writes my own employee ID regardless of who fires the automation.  

I have tried adding a form rule however if I check 3 records ( fire automation 3 times ) the form rule only works once.

Am I missing something ( other than learning web hooks which I have not done yet ) ?
