Notes
The value of the Created By field is set to the name of the user when the field is first visible on the page. Therefore, system administrators can create a "name stamp" by making the field visible only at a certain status or by using Visibility Conditions.
If the Created By field is added after the record has been created it will be set to the current user the first time the record is saved.
