Wrong User Shown

I have an automation built to display changes from a drop down in a text field that logs edits with a username and timestamp for all changes.  When the automation runs it always shows my name as the user who made the edit.  I assume because I built the automation.  How do I get it to display the actual user name of the person who made the update now that the automation is live.

Note - I cant use a dynamic form rule because edits are done in a grid edit and the grid edit gets around these rules.

Any ideas?

np, sort of.
Yes, the Automation Owner will always be the user naming the change and there is no way to change that. 

But you can change the words being written to the log field to say Equipment Location updated by UserToName([Last Modified by]) 

ie make  formula field to calculate the words plus the  name of the Last Modified by.
