      Ahh yes. I guess I had a backup automation as a safety in case someone used grid edit or slid a card on a kanban. And then, somehow also deleted my dynamic rule so it has always been firing the automation. I'll work it with a dynamic rule which should eliminate 95% of that issue.

        The Automation will know the [Last Modified by] when it fires, which will be a real user.  So you can incorporate the name of that user into the words that you what you update in the logged field.
