Last updated by

The Last updated by field identifies the actor that most recently changed a record. Add it to a workspace to distinguish changes from teammates, automations, integrations, and Blue processes.

Common Uses

• Identify the latest editor: See who made the most recent change to a record.
• Review automated changes: Group by Last updated by to find changes from automations, formulas, or repeat schedules.
• Review API and form changes: Find records last changed through a form, API key, or external integration.
• Filter by editor: Find records changed by you or another teammate during a specified period.

Field Behavior

Last updated by is system-managed and read-only. Blue updates it when someone changes the record title, description, field values, status, comments, attachments, checklist items, or tags.

The value can identify one of these actors:

• A teammate: The user who made the change.
• An automation: The automation action that made the change.
• A public form: The form submission that created or changed the record.
• An API key: The key used for a change through the public API.
• A Blue system process: A formula, repeat, Lookup recalculation, or another internal update.
