Question about Last updated by

Just wondering,

Is the timestamp, Last updated by, a combination of the Date Modified and Last Modified By fields? Or is there a difference.

Thanks,

For clarity, what Mark is saying is that Quickbase will auto-create a handful of fields when you create a new table:

Date Created     (Field ID 1)
Date Modified    (Field ID 2)
Record ID#       (Field ID 3)
Record Owner     (Field ID 4)
Last Modified By (Field ID 5)

However, it's possible that an Admin in your app created a Last updated by field, but how that is implemented would be specific to your app.

Ahh, after re-reading this one, it sounds like you are referring to the time and userstamps displayed in the footer when viewing a single record. Yes, native Quickbase displays the Last updated by as a combination of the Last Modified By and Date Modified fields in the form footer as you described in your question.

    There is no native Field in QuickBase called Last Updated By.  The words at the bottom of the forms which show who created and edited the record last are derived from the first 5 fields on the field list.
