My suggested solution was to make a new field of type User, and not try to change the built in field.
if you specify your new field that you created as part of the trigger step in the place for fields to be used in subsequent steps, then it should be offered further down the pipeline as a choice to populate.

Hey Mark,
I thought this solution would work for a workflow that I am trying to solve for with a PL.
"Last Modified By" shows up as an option to Trigger Step A off of, but not as an option for Subsequent Steps. Thoughts? Is this a bug possibly?

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.

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

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].

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
