It would be great if we could have a new Automation Action to 'Record the <Current User>'.
This would be useful for checklists where we want to capture the User who ticked a checkbox column, as well as the date on which it was ticked.
Currently, we can only use the 'Record a Date' automation action for the latter part of this use case. and the 'Assign People' action only allows you to nominate a specific selected individual from a contact list-type column, but not the (relative version of) "<Current User>" as in Reports.
Also, other another alternative automation actions such as 'Change a Cell Value' do not allow changes to Contact List type columns. Strange because it is also dropdown column of sorts.
