When using an automation or Pipelines, if a record is automatically created, if a user field default is set to 'current user', will the current user simply be whomever owns the Pipeline?

If I want to set that field to the user who triggered the pipeline, can I do this? My thought is to have a current user field in the table where the action is triggered, and then use THAT current user to fill in the user field in the new record. Should that work? Other ways to fill in the current user that triggered the action?

No, the Userid you need to grab is the [Last Modified by] as that is who triggered the Automation.  The current user will always be the current user and that will be the Owner of the Automation.
