Pipeline changing the last modified by

I have a pipeline which runs based on the trigger and the last modified by default field only shows my name. Is there any way I can change the last modified by or create a new field based on who updates that records, it will record that name.

Thanks,
Fanil

    np,
    Make a new field of type user called maybe [Last Modified by before Pipeline].
    Have the Pipeline also populate that field with [Last Modified by].

      Hi Mark,

      Thanks for answering that. Just to make it clear I make a formula/user field before the pipeline and then add that to the pipeline?

      Is that correct

        No, you make a regular user field called 

        [Last Modified by before Pipeline]

        Then have the Pipeline populate it.  but I realize now that would need to be the first  step of the pipeline or at least a step before the pipeline modifies the record.   Also we do not yet have the ability to insert Pipeline steps so you may need to rebuild your Pipeline.
