Can Fusion change enteredByID of an object?

Hi All,

 

when Fusion creates a record (Project / Task / etc.) in Workfront, the enteredByID field on the new record will reflect the Workfront user that represents the Fusion automation (more precisely: the WF user who created the Oath application used by Fusion to connect to WF).

 

I wonder if there is any way for Fusion to create a WF record with a different enteredByID. For example, when Fusion processes a request and creates a new task (not by converting from the issue), I'd like the task to have the enteredByID matching enteredByID of the original request.

 

I tried mapping enteredByID in the Create Record module, and also tried changing the enteredByID via Update Record, but neither worked.

 

Thank you for any inputs.
Tibor

Just a side note: I use a dummy account for much of my Fusion work (so that I can tell when Fusion took an action and not me personally).

 

 

Note--the FusionAutomation account (which has admin rights) and Fusion connection using it were both set up prior to our migration to the Adobe Admin Console.  I don't have access to the Console (it's managed by our IT dept.), so I'm not sure if this is still an option for new accounts/connections.

That's exactly what I have: A separate WF user called Fusion automations, with sysadmin rights, used for creating the Fusion Connection. I wouldn't want all new records created by Fusion to be in my name, of course. 🙂

Hello @lgaertner

Looks like @tibormolnar  had a follow-up question to your response on using Fusion; if you have the time or context to provide an answer, that would be greatly appreciated!

Negative. Entered by is a system-set field (same as entryDate) and cannot be modified.

Thanks for the confirmation.

(It's a bit confusing that Fusion gives you the choice to set it in the Create/Update record modules.)

Totally agree!
