Column Properties: Created By
Does anyone know if their is way to display the Name instead of the email address when using Auto-Number/System>Created By?
Example:
Current Display ray@acams.com
Display I want: Ray Donovan
Thanks

Hi Ray,
Unfortunately, it's not possible, but you could use a so-called helper column to show the name instead.
Try something like this.
=IF([Created By]@row = "ray@acams.com"; "Ray Donovan")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF([Created By]@row = "ray@acams.com", "Ray Donovan")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma."
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
