How will the modified timestamp fields for QB records produced/modified by this feature (i.e. Last Modified By, Record Owner, etc.) be handled when utilizing pipeline actions? Will they always use the pipeline creator's username like how automations currently work, or will it be possible to define that value in the pipeline setup either through use of a user field or some hard-coded value (similar to how connected tables use "Connected Data Service" as the Record Owner).
With the potential of heavy record manipulation with pipelines, I'd prefer not to have my name plastered over all of our QB records when I am not actually making these record additions/edits myself.

- Hi Jonathan, that's a great question! When records are produced/modified in Quick Base by Pipelines, the built-in fields will not be available to modify. That means that the "Date Created" and "Date Modified" fields will automatically reflect the Date/Time that the Pipeline ran. The "Record Owner" and "Last Modified By" fields will also be assigned based on the user token, meaning that your name will be reflected in the scenario you described.
That said, you can certainly leverage any editable user field, and you can even use that to capture the value from the "Last Modified By" field in your trigger. That would allow you to capture the name of the user who actually took the action that caused the Pipeline to run.
