capture name of cell modifier in a cell
When a cell value changes, capture the contact name of who modified the cell value. This would be much similar to the record a date when cell value changes automation.

Hi @Joe_AM
Can you clarify how this would be different from the Modified By system column? Do you mean a static value based on only one cell change, versus any change in the row?

I echoe @Joe_AM 's need. I have a sheet that serves as a Strategic Plan base in which weekly status updates are to be provided by the manager. I had hoped to use the Modified by and Modified system fields to capture the date and time in which the Project Update was provided and then copy the row to a log that would store all the historical updates. I created a Submitted checkbox to serve as the trigger. Unfortunately, since the automation is the last action performed on the row, it captures [email protected] instead of retaining the current user who modified the row prior to triggering the automation.
